Simpit looks great.

Question about th estick.
I've thought about getting one of thos but my hand doesnt seem to fit right in the grip.
Now Im not a BIG man but that loop or whatever the hell it is in the front is about  at least a 1/2 inch too small for my hand to fit comfortably in.
How do you get your hand to fit in their comfortably.
Feel likeit was designed to fit the hand of an 11 year old.

Salute Ironblade,
I'll gladly tell you sir,6 weeks of searching and bidding(and getting out-bidded sometimes) yep you have guessed it,
EBAY :D
It's amazing the stuff that comes up,i mean one guy had a whole
wooden pallet about 4' high by 3 feet by 3feet full of "surplus" oxygen masks,avg ending selling price? right around $75.00 to about $150.00.sheesh,all i would need is one.
The gauges,i was pretty lucky,found some that were up for bid starting at $9.99 and avg i was winning them right around $12.00 for 3 plus shipping ,$18.00 total. Look for BOB98 at EBAY,
he has had some great pieces, hope this helps,see ya' in tha virtual skies.

DUDE, that is fantabulous! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Where can I get scematics, blueprints, etc. for making one of these?

*edit*  I found these links....  Some of the sites are for more modern, but the first one is pretty generic in design, and function...
