' 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....
