Re: Brantly Survey: What's the future of the fleet?

The TC & PC were surendered, That opens the door for owner manufactured parts, Reverse engineer to your hearts content.
Your name becomes the Manufacture & the Quality assurance is in the paper work submitted on that 337 form.

The Rotormouse was powered by an AiResearch 36-55-c Apache APU, The rest were powered with a Solar T-62 T32, The same engine used in the Jet Exec.
