Well, to anybody who was thinking of it and didn't act - you missed a bargain! I'm taking G2066 off the market at $5k.Some good news at last:I went and saw [chainsaw] Bob Jumeau who flies at the same club as I last week end. He took one look at the blades and said they should be repairable.. subject to an inspection by Jack Allen who manufactured them. I spoke with Jack and he said that the blades can take a hell of a beating before they are marginalised. It would appear that the skins being crinkled may be the thing that is holding the blades out of shape at present. The magnitude of the bend on the worst blade is: bowed back 1/2" and down 3/4". It would appear this is within the range of bowing that can be encountered on the spars fresh out of the extruder, and it seems that they have to be straightened before the skins are mounted on them and bonded into position.. sounds hopeful and I'll be checking it out with Jack this week end.Mr Horan, you said you have a selection of push rods... would you have one of 231 mm length?The nose wheel should be easy to fix, it needs a bracket made up - this time in steel.Looking a little brighter..Nicholas TomlinAlarmist - www.alarmist.com.au - we scare for you

Bugger...just about had the money together. Seriously now, I am very pleased you are able to manage to keep it Nick. As my old dad used to say...act in haste and repent in leisure. Looks like a bit of time between incident and now has been of real benefit.PeteBairnsdale,Vic.

Hmm,there's two like chalk and cheese..Pete - thanks, good advice. Wal Flaks rang me tonight, and said even if you couldn't repair it you should pull it down and store it, because you wouldn't get another like it.. I'd have to agree.Mark - said with all the enthusiasm of a 15 year old girl... asked to do the washing up... got a push rod?Cheers,Nicholas TomlinAlarmist - www.alarmist.com.au - we scare for you
