Default Dick Johnson's wing flattening jig?

As a matter of fact I purchased the Wng Flattener from Dick just
before his untimley death. It is necessary to flatten both the top and
bottom of both wings to get maximum perormance increase. You must
carefully remove all wax and contaminates before placing your wings
into the molds. Then plug it into 220 (3-phase) current and select 75
amps to start with. If after an hour the wings arent flat then turn
the selector up to max (100 amps) and wait another hour. I charge
$1000 per side, so both sides of both wings will run you $4000 with a
10% discount for FNG's

Dick also sold me the rights to his Wing Stretcher which will run you
$1000 per meter. Expencive, but one customer is ecstatic over his 30
meter Libelle!

JJ- You're not spillin' the beans on th Mark IV version with the 4th
order reflex compensation are you? I thought we agreed to keep it to
ourselves till 2015.
Are you selling out on me?
