Hi,
Thanks for the feed back. Often one tries to help and does not hear any more, anyway glad I was right. A minor error on brush type motors, but dicey to explain to some one not into these things. I had to replace my rotor and field when my unit over revved due to running with no load as I was messing around deciding what to put through next.

Hope it does what you want and you get good service out of it.
Regards
P/s mine is an AP13AK, obviously a later model with extra safety features.Hugh
Enough is enough, more than enough is too much.
