ouch! lots of noise,and music,rather slow.
maybe if the fans could have got some air to push out and there wasnt awall on the other side to slow it down?

Damn! Why don't just get rid of the Mast and Sail and fit a 400CC MB Engine with a Prop attached???
Get over it! Wait for a breeze like normal people.[}:)]

Knew a bloke years ago O'Hara. We used to call him "Armstrong". Never seen a fella so strong, why, I saw him once stand a whole Day with his little finger in his Butt holdin' hisself at Arms Length. Ain't neva seen nuthin' like it since.
