Default different models available?

Just wondering if you have a model for a car? Our kids are on their own, but they do come visit quite often. For about a 10 year period, we never had to trade in or sell a car. It could have saved me enough for a 10 rather than a 9 or 12.

Default Salesmanship!

ROFL....reminds me of the shock absorbers some guy was adding to Skyhawk wing struts, back in the late 60's....for a "Softer ride", in turbulence.

Best,

Default That's funny!

I love it! I think some outriggers on the wing tips could help us tail wheel guys - you know from those unsightly ground loops. I'll sign up for testing those!!

Default I'm just wondering...

...how many adult beverages were consumed the night this was conceived, and how long you guys spent rolling on the hangar floor laughing at the sheer genius of your creation?

Also, how hard was it to keep a straight face during that video?

How many takes before you got a video without you cracking up as you pulled out the prototype?

and finally...

How can I get one?

PS - Since I don't have an RV to test the new product, can I wear it as a hat?

Dave

Default Pusher...

Maybe could be used as "training wheels" for a pusher version of the pogo?

....Believe it or not, this was done in just one take. I did this video all by myself one evening with none of the other guys around. I didn't even share it with them until it was posted. The hardest part was the straight face, almost blew it at the end! This was fun and I hope you all got a laugh out of it. Regards all, Allan

Default Funny....

You already developed a product for the -A models, so this one must be for the tail dragger crowd.
