Hi Andy, thanks! that's a great idea for me to try.

Will try calling at the local agent to see if they have one in stock or can order one in for me. I should be getting the Vmax 6 piston/cylinder set, right (as opposed to the current vmax 7 set)? Pricing would be an issue because the prices I'm seeing on the net are about 2/3 the cost of getting a new Wasp!

Never occurred to me even though I happen to have a Lite Machines heli lying around (real cheap off the LHS's junk heap). Still thinking about a powerplant for that.
