adding flaps on a model A
I bought a used Model A where two of the wind flaps on the flywheel are missing. Bought replacements from Concept, and now I'm having a hard time figuring out how to get the notch in the flap over the wheel frame without cracking it. Thoughts? Thanks.

Since there aren't a lot of A's around I think your best bet is to give C2 Customer Service a call and see what they say. I've spoken to them a few time regarding my Model C and my Dyno and they've been quite helpful.

So this is a retirement video that my co-workers put together for me which shows fan blades being put on a Model A flywheel at about 2:04 into it. No apologies for the music.......

Thanks for sharing, Jon! Hard to compress a full career into a short video, but it looked like an awesome tribute. And also an interesting peek into some of the history and magic behind what we're using today

Love the simplicity of the concept, whilst the engineering of todays versions may be more complex, the best ideas often spring from simple ideas.c2jonw wrote: ↑April 26th, 2022, 10:28 pmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxQzOOfXceY
