Default Wing tie-down kit

or make it yourself for 20 bucks


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!

JJ,
I wouldn't worry too much about Bumper's threats of legal action.
He also claims to have patent rights for the "Mark II Thermal
Dissaptor" and the "Mark 1 Cumulus Destroyer" which I have been
developing independently for some time. He hasn't gone through with
his threats yet, but maybe he's taking it easy on me because I
purchased a QV and MKII yaw string from him. ;-P
My non-patented Mk II yaw string monitor is still under development,
but shows promise.
