CHECK OUT THAT FAN...DID I MENTION TO CHECK OUT AND LOOK THAT RUSTY FAN OVER VERY WELL AND I MEAN VERY WELL...

If there is a slight crack, and most of the time you do not see the crack, within the fan blades themselves, one could come flying off and I hate to even think of the consequences that might and may happen as you or your friends are standing there admiring the "running" of the engine.

Without seeing it...even seeing it... scares me. Many on this board can attest to the problems with these original two blade fans. To many accidents with them especially if they have not been carefully looked over...and then there are cases where they have been looked over and WHAM...a blade comes flying off and let me tell you...those flying blades do not have eyes and do not give a darn as to the path they take when the do come flying off.

If you are a neophyte on this stuff...just get a second opinion.

Just be safe about it...we want you around awhile!...We don't want to see that type of "crash cource"!
