I'll sell the rest to Wicks and Spruce to sell to the public. Anyone interested? Richard Riley I was planning to make my own Richard, but I wasn't going to use exotic wood. Plain old Poplar, stained to whatever hue would be fine with me. Corky Scott |

richard,
That with cooley hat and all ? Sean Richard Riley wrote: I'm looking into having a run of B-8 stick grips made from hardwood. If you don't know the B-8, here's a drawing - http://tinyurl.com/26mfq. They wouldn't be cheap - probably in the range of $300-400 with the switches installed. Woods are Goncalo Alves, Coolibah, Rose Myrtle, Brown Malee and similar exotics. Less for more standard walnut, cherry, rosewood and ebony. Checkering in the same places as the original, oil or urethane finish. I'm trying to guage general interest. I'm not planning on selling them directly, really I just want a pair for myself but it looks like the minimum reasonable run is about 100. I'll sell the rest to Wicks and Spruce to sell to the public. Anyone interested? Richard Riley Richard (atsign) riley (period) net |

No, the switch is nearly $100 alone. Rose Myrtle joystick grip: $400 Two step trigger: $100 Preventing an inadvertent shoot-down of the 172 in front of you: Priceless. :-) Ron Wanttaja |

Which hurts more through the nose coffee or Pepsi™. I think Ron puts a notch on his modem each time he makes someone spew. Speaking of which I have a spoof MasterCard™® ad clip that may make you do that. If you are interested I could send it to you. Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired Sounds interesting, but the best I can get on this tin can and string lash up from SW Bell is about 26 to 28 k. Large files are painfully sloooooow. If it's under a meg, and worth the wait, send it on... As for the technical question... From an engineering perspective, the differences experienced by the nasal cavities probably depend on the dynamics of the substances expelled. How hot is the coffee? How much bubble in the Pepsi? And, of course, how much dynamic pressure in the ejector? Richard (wiping his nose...) |
