I'm in for a few if that will help lower the per item cost.

He needs the file to work up cost. May have a friend with Auto Cad that can do it....one of these days....

Update: Another RV builder/flyer has stepped up to make the file. Should have an idea of pricing and minimum order before long.

Looking for beta testers. Need approximately 10 Aircraft (I have 40 test parts) that fly allot
to put more hours on them...Must agree to the following conditions:

These are experimental parts, still in development, untested, and as such, you assume all liability.
You must install them soon and fly often.
You must provide feed back ..positive or negative. This will require you checking them regularly and then removing the gaskets at the end of the test period and inspecting and assessing their condition.
PM me with your address. I will mail 40 out in about 2 weeks (US addresses only) to the first 10 requests that agree to the terms.

I'm not in, but would suggest to those on the periphery to not bet the whole farm on an element that can be tested on just one intake tube.

VLAD...are you sure? those terms are going to require to much downtime for you...although you've got the "fly a lot" part down already.

Not a bad idea at all.

I would volunteer to beta test, but couldn't honestly fulfill the "fly a lot / fly often" end of the deal. I'm flying maybe once every 2 or 3 weekends now that Oshkosh is behind us and both avgas money and leisure time to go pleasure flying is presently in short supply for me.

Got pricing. .062 thickness, base price from fabricator = $4.46 each with 100 minimum. Plus tax and shipping etc. then packing and shipping out to anyone interested.
......?
Maybe wait and see how this other fellow's test group reports?

He might have better pricing??
