Graham, 

Understand that you are v. happy with your Arplast PV50. I had written
off to the Arplast address in Canada who I understood serviced the US
some time ago and did not get a reply, so I was not very impressed with
their service. Dave Leonard has now posted the link to a Pulsar owner
here is selling Arplast props for Pulsar builders so I may contact him
at http://www.graceba.net/~billings/.

Question.
I note that the power to the prop is supplied through the hollow drive
shaft. Is this compatible with the vacuum pump I already have and will
mount at the rear of the 912 gearbox ?

Question to Europaphiles.
Does anybody out there have a reliable contact address for Arplast in
the US ?

Cheers, John, XS A099
