Have you tried contacting one of the commercial companies like Petroleum Helicopters or Air Logistics? Both of them are located in (or near) Lafayette, LA. If the blades from a Bell 206 would be of use to you, they might be able to help. Otherwise, you might also try Barnstormers.com...

I have heard folks talk about a Maule fabric tester, but I have never seen one in action. Apparently it puts a set amount of pressure against fabric and if the rod goes thru, then the fabric fails.

The reason I'm wondering is because about 2" of suction is sufficient to power a turn needle, and while...
