' a WONDERFUL trip to S. Padre (and other Texus guff coast) destinations, quite a few years ago...

...and some ladies (in a non-English-speaking restaurant in Brownsville, early in the morning - with the only customers in there being us), brought us menus.

I set the menus down, and just smiled and gestured "bring" to them.

They smiled very big, and brought us a MAGNIFICENT breakfast !!! :clap:

They may have copied the basic design of a J865, but it isn't one. The fifth valve, while dependent, is actuated by a trigger, not by the thumb pushing against a post on the rotor itself.

that's an easy mod, and certainly doesn't rule out it being built on the same assembly line as the BMB.

that price difference though....
Yep, I'm Mark
