Another fellow and I restored a 250 for the Wisconsin Wing-CAF a few years back. Mounted on a display stand, their turret has been used as a curio/fundraiser for their Harpoon project. It could be operated by the auxiliary manual hand controls, but we never electrified it for fear the little kiddies might get a limb caught in the collector ring (or some equally horrible fate). I was always too tall to fit in it decently, but my kids sure had a blast knocking down imaginary bandits.
Hopefully it won't be too much longer before a few more PV's have air under their wings.
Best wishes,
Dan
