Les Turrall 2 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 My advice would be to leave Mintor well alone. Took me ages to get them to repair my Mintor 33, which developed bearing movement and noise. Eventually got them via Area 51, to fix it under warranty. Came back after several weeks and six flights later, has now succumbed to a broken reed valve. Can I get any joy from Mintor???? you guessed it!!!!! ZILCH! Ditch the Mintor and get a DLE 30!!!!
