Question Rotorblades?

Do rotors come w/ this machine?

What kind of prop is that? Looks like an Ivo prop...size?

Engine history,and how many hours on it?

Which brand of seat tank, and capacity?

Nice machine, wish it was availablea few months ago, I wanted it after seeing Marks but have already started building one.
Great price, I'm sure it will sell fast.

I think you have the bigger 8(?) gallon Brock tank as the 5/6 gal had a more pronounced rake back to it.

I would have thought this would have been sold by now. For $5,000 it would make a great gyro that doesn't need much to be complete and flying.

1995 Polaris SLT 750 Jet Ski, New SBT motor installed last summer, only a few hours on it since and counting. gonna be a few more after today hot hot hot in N IL.

I am just kidding, your to far away for me right now, I am still a tire kicker wanna be. I have to finish up my $prot pile it for my PPC before I can get real serious. Making plans to attend Mentone though, looks like the place to go to learn more!
