What motor are you using on the Fan?

It made Thursday go a whole lot quicker, that's for sure!

Awesome, Jeff.

There are always so many people who are so willing to soak up any information, humor, knowledge, tips, ideas - and having someone make themselves available like you did, makes their experience all the more golden.

Very cool.

Two fisher price motors into a combiner box. Between the noise from the gearbox and the fan spinning, it can get quite loud!

We realized this as well. We actually had to add a few chunks of aluminum to get us back up to 120lbs. I wonder if they even bothered to verify weight of the scales.

Another reason...
