Oh, but Jim - there are few things that are more pleasingly fragrant than a
port-o-let at Oshkosh in the morning.

Uhhhh, yea?! (puzzlement)

Especially when you get the wonderful, relaxing, melodic, sounds of the
early morning entertainment coming over the P.A. mixing with the smell!

Just in case no one has mentioned it yet. Roger Rourke in California makes
up his own Round flying wires for homebuilts. His number is 661-766-2753.
His prices are probably half of what you would pay for the streamline wires.

Wondering why the price of a set of Flying wires for most HB Bi Planes

cost
3k or more? Not trying to argue, just wondering what drives the high

cost.

Thanks- J. Wolfer

If you're the only show in town, you charge all the traffic will bear, or send 'em
to
merry old Scotland---'course $3K will buy a lot of haggus.

they are the most non redundant parts of an aircraft that uses them.
buy the best, you are seldom around for a warranty claim.

Good is of one, better of two, best of three or more. All you can get are
good. Monopoly and all like that. Brunton bought out its competitor.
