toys for your glider

It's still possible to get a really neat and appreciated gift for all
your glider buddies for $10 or less (that's *each* you tightwad)! In a
pinch, can also be used as wedding, anniversary, or birthday present -
- though results may vary.

I get "bulk" orders for gifts to hand out to other club members
throughout the year, but it picks up near Christmas. So I thought I'd
do a "not so special special" this year. Here's the deal:

Proudly made in the USA (so they are dirt cheap against the
Euro) . . .

Buy 10 MKIV yaw strings and get 1 Quiet Vent free with your order.
(offer ends 12/31/09).

Of course if you don't have many friends, you can buy fewer
MKIV's . . . you just don't get the free QV - - sorry.

MKIV's are $10 each, (QV's are regularly $6). Shipping is free to USA
(we need all the financial help we can get right now) and just $1 (any
size order) to other countries.

If you are not completely satisfied your money will be cheerfully
refunded including return shipping (though I will be vrey surprised
and somewhat shocked) . Since nobody has ever requested their money
back, this may be your chance to establish an easy world record that
is at least "glider related".

For ordering and more info, send email to bumper (add letter "m" after
bumper) @ att dot net.

Sorry for the commercial post, I promise not to do it again until at
least next year.

Actually you now need three per glider canopy so that you can get the
AoA reference on both sides of the cockpit. Hope ya got enough bumper!

Yes, buy a yaw string for your friends.

Lessee... my wish list would be various combinations of (in no
particular order):
NK Clearnav + B500
Craggy Ultimate + B500 + EWmicrorecorder
LX8000

When I win the lottery, I guess! (But then I could look at an EB29...
gonna dream: dream BIG)

I've seen my fair share of pilots pulling their hair out over non-
functioning EWmicrorecorders. I guess it was aptly named "eeewww". I
don't know if they've fixed the problems now - but this past summer
was full of bad customer experiences.

9B - Please confine criticisms or condemnations of equipment and
manufacturers to the ones you've personally experienced. If folks you
know have bad experiences, let them speak up. No need to trash
products based on hearsay.

NOTE: I am in no way affiliated with any of the people or products
that have been discussed on this thread. The only connection that I
have is as the owner of an EW MicroRecorder that I purchased in early
2008 and have experienced zero problems with. I have heard of
problems with some of the older (pre-MicroRecorder) products, but
since I haven't had any bad experiences myself I don't go around
blabbing about it.

If you aren't going to buy something, don't buy the very best!
