Hello David,
Last year september 2004 I am in Woodcomp factory and I buy SR2000. The
informations
comming from Jiri are:
The difference between SR2000 and SR3000 is the next:
SR2000 is made for Small aircraft and/or Ultralight. There is no "reverse"
position.
The SR3000 is made for seaplane with reverse position. The blades are the same
mechanism same but setting is different.
bientt,
