When I was a little boy (a few years back really), my Papa told me that when someone steals your work and calls it their's, I should feel proud instead of angry because it is something of value. Of course Papa didn't see that the other kid got promoted past me, a little bonus, some awards, blah blah. Now that I've grown up and learned to mellow out, I sure hope someone will steal my $2.14 ring-sight mounting hardware setup assembled mostly from old bicycle brake parts. Well it's going to be more that $2.14 by tomorrow when I replace a metal nut and bolt with nylon ones

Speaking of flight simulators, why isn't Flight Simulator offered for the X-Box? I mean, they're both MS products right? What's up with that? My other ride is the relative wind.

Yes and consider it done. I will be at Lowe's tomorrow to acquire a nylon nut & bolt to replace the set attaching the arm to the helmet. I love the comments. Keep them coming

After reviewing the comments, I understand why there're lots of concern with using a ring hook as my sight - the gap in the loop. I've used a bench vice to squeeze the gap as shut as I could. And in heeding your concern, I've fully closed it today with epoxy

That's all part of my helmet cutaway system. Inside the white spacer is a spring. The washer is used to keep the spring from squeezing itself around the clovis pin's head as their circumferences are quiet close in measurement. The white spacer while it houses the spring, serves 2 purposes: 1) attempt to make the assembly as flush as possible, 2) set a fixed position where the cotter pin gets inserted. The pictures attached should illustrate. You're absolutely right about the slim chance the washer creates a snag hazard with suspension lines. The difference is less than 1mm; the side-mounted D-Box is about 3.5"

Ok Ok. I give. And I took off the 48¢ I paid for the ring hook. Heehee. Come to think of it, I really just came up with an inexpensive way to mount a ring sight or something to help my aim really My other ride is the relative wind.

Yap. I've tried the paper reinforcer on my goggles BUT, each time it moves, so does the aim. There're times when I'm watching my videos that I'd tilt my head up because of it. My other ride is the relative wind.

No kidding. I can almost hear those words. I happened upon an old pair of brake calipers at a bike repair store and acquired them for $2. Then a trip to the hardware store for a ring-hook (48¢), and a nylon bearing (14¢). The other parts such as nuts, bolts, washers, if not from the brakes, were from the helmet (see 2nd attachment) when I implemented PhreeZone's cutaway system or the old toolbox. The picture pretty much tells you how to assemble one for yourself. The only thing is the nylon bearing which I've used as a spacer for where the caliper is bolted onto the helmet. The hole's a tad big for a regular ¼" socket bolt. I found that 2 brake pad retainer thingies assembled as such offered the same swivel you'd expect of a swivel clamp. There are 2 nuts to tighten once you've got it all positioned. Well, 3 really if you count the hardware attaching it to the helmet. One nut applies pressure on the thingie that screwes to the arm. You don't need to screw it all the way in and risk stripping the arm. The other nut you use to hold the improvised ring sight in place. In all, it took me about 2 hours to grind off excess aluminium (where the arm attaches to the helmet), put it together and make all the adjustments.

What a surprise to hear a familar name and voice get announced over the radio. So Biscuit... What's this thing about decending over Puyallup and singing George Michael's "Last Christmas"? Some kind of karaoke thing? My other ride is the relative wind.

* SMACK SMACK * I said it last year and I'll say it again this year To the tune of Feliz Navidad: Police stop my car. Police stop my car. The police made me stop, walk a straight line And blow a balloon up. Police stop my car. Police stop my car. The police made me stop, walk a straight line And blow a balloon up. They wanna wish me a sober Christmas. That's why they always pull me over Christmas. They say they're just making sure that there's No open bottles in my car. They wanna wish me a sober Christmas. That's why they always pull me over Christmas. They say they're just making sure that there's No open bottles in my car. Police roadblock. Police roadblock. Police roadblock. I can smell the donuts as they smell my breath. Police roadblock. Police roadblock. Police roadblock. I can smell the donuts as they smell my breath. They wanna wish me a sober Christmas. That's why they always pull me over Christmas. They're gonna let me out on bail this Christmas From the bottom of their hearts. Police lock me up. Police lock me up. The police lock me up 'cause when I blew, I blew a 2.1. My other ride is the relative wind.

What's a SkyFlyer3? My other ride is the relative wind.

Very cl Yeah that line-twist spinning mal was exactly what it looked like on my first cutaway. I still remember the sound of the 3-rings My other ride is the relative wind.

I agree. I think during fermentation the sugars would have been converted to alcohol to the point that it would be really dry. But here's another question for you guys: Do you transfer the cider into secondary fermentation like you do with beer? If so, when? Also: Do you leave the yeast as is and let it bottle condition?

I knew there was such a thing as Big Foot My other ride is the relative wind.

I hope so. And I'll let you know in about a month when it's ready for consumption. I've only brewed beer so far. My other ride is the relative wind.

If you could find a place like Tap Plastics you could buy yourself some 1/8" polycarbornate sheet and make your own. I did that and it cost me less than $4 for my Z-1. My other ride is the relative wind.

Speaking of drinks. Has anyone attempted homemade hard cider? The local grocery had fresh pressed, unfiltered apple cider on sale for $1.98/gl. I bought 6 gl and pitched some champagne yeast as my first attempt. It's been going for about 4 days now. My other ride is the relative wind.

I know who did it

Oooh oooh oooh... One more one more http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/editorial/cartoon/2003/121603.html edit: Wrong cartoon My other ride is the relative wind.
