to Wade, Richard, Robert

thank you very much for the time you spent in replying to my query.

Actually, it is now working with the same set-up that I wrote over the
message board. The only difference was by attaching the blades (LOL).
(*sigh) I assumed by connecting just the wires you can test if the
motor will work. Well... it did not work. I decided to attach the
blades and lo and behold it is working!

But that doesn't mean I did not learn on what you guys has just
posted. It confirmed on what I knew and added more based on your
suggestions and insights. Again, thank you very much.
