Yep, the materials did cost about $20 bucks, 2024-T3 (.062) + 2 hinges
& 2 cargo tie-downs and don't forget the padding and contact cement,
now find someone with a sheet metal shears and brake. Then cut, bend,
trim, rivet, glue, box and ship.....................man are we making
a killing on this?

I have used these for years and some local pilots finally got me to
make up a run, with travel time down to use the shears I have a good
15 hours into making 8 sets for a whopping $42 bucks an hour + gas (my
shop rate is $65/hr)................won't make that mistake again!

JJ,

You have infringed on the business model I have in place for the Quiet Vent
(sells for $6) and the MKII yaw string - $10. Since you did not contact me
seeking permission to license my copyrighted business model, you will either
have to raise your prices immediately or suffer the wrath of my team of
attorneys.

BTW, I also have patent pending on "Buy High Sell Low" and "Dare to be
different . . . circle in sink."

You have been warned!

I bought 2 back belts with velcro closing (but without the shoulder
straps) and a couple of textile motorcycle tiedown loops (not the
ratchet straps, but what you put on the bike to protect it from the
metal hooks) and had 2 excellent tiedown cuffs for less than $25
lot. For the nervous, they can be stitched.

In the 35 years I have been in this sport I have seen 3 ships upside
down on the ramp................so when I leave the ship tied out I
make sure its adequately secured. The trailing edge cusp distributes
the load and prevents cauging flaps or ailerons. The force is all
forward and then down over the leading edge and ratchet'd down against
wing stands. I also chock both wheels.

I am sorry JJ. I mis-read the posts. I didn't realize you were
selling these things until after I posted. I thought I was thumbing
my nose at someone else.
