Re: Aero 12-B Windmill Kit

I've seen a few of these windmills powered by small steam engines and want to set mine up to do the same. I'm looking for info on what size pulley's and bearings to buy so I can build a model water pump underneath the windmill. Looks like 2mm round polyurethane belt material can be used to drive the pump/windmill? I'll be using my Jensen 75 or Wilesco D365 for power. Thanks guys!

Also, if anyone is considering buying and building one of these kits, I have a few tips/tricks to offer for how to make assembly go a little easier.
