Subject: [surplusengines] New here,a few questions about the 4A032
engine


Fetters was the scam artist behind the Mini 500 which
kills more than it flies and the 2 seater in which he was
taking deposits and then folded up the doors to disappear
with the money.

You might want to not touch this with something bigger
than a 10 foot pole. His reputation has not been that great
since he was doing the gyro's (they had problems too)

I didn't come here to argue or to talk about anything other than this
nice little engine and to try and learn a thing or two about it. But,
it is very obvious that you are one of the ones that has blindly
believed what a few people have said false about Dennis Fetters. I
can't say that's your fault, but I can say that you are a victim of
misinformation, so let me as an outsider set you straight.

First, I own a Mini-500 and have over 950 hours on it. I have been
dealing with Revolution Helicopter and Dennis Fetters since nearly the
beginning, and I have never, never had a bad experience. I have always
been treated with respect and got more than I paid for. Fetters has
always been honest and I know for a fact that he has never took a dime
from anyone. His Mini-500 helicopter is the finest kit ever offered,
had a few small problems as any new helicopter in history has ever
had, but Fetters stood behind them and fixed them.

Anyone willing to do a little reading can see that there has never
been an accident in a Mini-500 that was the fault of the design or
flying characteristics. Anyone that says differently is merely
ignorant of the true facts or a liar. Just look it up for yourself if
you don't believe me.

Dennis Fetters was viciously attached by a few people working together
to try and take over his company, and to some extent they have
succeeded. I know, I saw the whole thing. Fetters never took a dime
from anyone, but the SBA did shut him out of his factory after the
sales stopped and took over the bank accounts, so Fetters had no way
to give anyone back any money anyway, but he sure didn't take it.

So, with that said, I for one am glad if Dennis Fetters took an
interest in anything that I am interested in. Who else has equal
ability and knowledge to bring to this table? You? Let's hope that
Dennis dose have an interest in working with this engine, and if
successful will be willing to share his knowledge with others.

Now that you have heard the other side, I hope you won't be so fast to
criticize someone without knowing the other side of the customers that
were happy.

Cy,

When I first read this I didn't catch that you were
"quoting" someone else. I thought you were the author and
assumed you were completely looneytunes or were writing
"tongue in cheek".

I've seen the helicopter close up. I have friends that have
flown it and heard their first hand reports.

I, too, wonder if "Al" is merely Fetters under a nom de
plume.
