Re: Aermotor bonnet

Yes, those were Larry special helmets from back in the day. I think then they cost him around eight dollars a piece. They fit well, are durable and won't go away.

Some of the greenies and some FIASAs were fiberglass with no inner lip.

What was original use of these towers?

One of the lots I bought at Bill Cherry's auction were these towers. The 3 leg was what I would call 2" angle with corner mitered off. It had brackets that bolted on the corner angle for the x braces.

There was also 100' of 1.5" corner with similar profile.

Re: New Member

Sorry for the delay in followup. The tower is a 9 degree tower so the tower platform pattern in the reference-Aermotor section should work. The easiest way to verify is with comparing interior dimensions of the platform to the actual tower leg dimensions at the 40" holes on tower legs.

Re: Dizzy Aermotor

WB,

I had to look at the vid for the second time and think in between to feel pretty confident on what it is.

I think daily clues to think outside the box to solve is appropriate. If you dont want to go there and dont mind passing off, I like that kind of stuff and have a list of obscure clues ...

Re: New Member

If you have a pair of Nikon Eagleview binocs, that works too. Just look on the red main frame above for the position of the part#. A02 is RA and A2 is 1903.

I hope you didn't get those Aermotor post mounts from him, those are the only ones I ever got.

Re: New Member

Larry
Lots of good pics but not a definitive one. A RA will have these double nutted studs to hold the arms in and main frame will be marked A02. A 1903 won't have the studa and main frame will be A2. I thought I had 1903s here but couldn't find any. Maybe Georgetown Larry got them awhile back ...

Re: Air Electric

Dang, so much for improved eyesight after surgery. I see now that it is attached to a girt inside already when you took the pic.
