All this should be here by the end of next week, and we'll see how it goes. I do have a welding shop nearby whose owner said he'd help me out, but I'l l likely be back here for help.
By the way, the most negative reviews I've seen about the AHP referred to h aving to pay shipping in both directions for warranty repair after 30 days. I bought the 4-year SquareTrade plane from Amazon that will (if need be) c over that. Other than that, it seems that the AHP provides a lot of bang fo r the buck.
