Mini 5oo

[Dustoff82]

Hello members! I've build and flown an ultra lite. Restored a KB-2 gyrocopter and flew it too. While in the army I was a crew chief on the UH-1, OH 58, and the AH-64. I wasn't able to pass the class 1 flight physical so settled for crewing. My grandfather flew P-40's and my father did 2 tours in Vietnam as a dustoff pilot. Years after getting out I spent the money and got my Rotary wing ticket. A few days ago I bought a Mini 500 for a few hundred dollars.  The kit was not complete but after a parts inventory i found that I'm missing the main drive shaft; the tail rotor drive shaft, the tail rotor gear box, and lastly the plexiglass windshield pieces. Since Revolution is out of business I'm reaching out for anyone that may have any of this stuff for sale. More importantly any owners that can share some wisdom.  I live in SC. I retired a few years ago and willing to travel to lay eyes on a complete one. I'm aware of the bad reputation the Mini 500's have and the good stuff about them too.
