The Sabre tool is excellent. However comma, another option is the Smith and Wesson
SW 911. I've carried one in my HR2 for 5 years. It's standard firefighter
issue and readily available from many sources.

We just received a shipment of a brand new safety item. The Sabre Aviation canopy
breaker is something that many of us would want to consider placing right next
to our fire extinguisher. Check it out.

Vince, are you going to have a booth at AirVenture this year?

Mark (and others),
We had a love/hate experience last year at Airventure.
We loved being able to meet the customers in person, and did quite well for our
first time out at a trade show. We were quite pleased actually.
Sadly, we hated:
1) the new fly market location.
2 ) the dirt. It was absolutely hell on merchandise
3) the cost paid to the EAA for a 20'x20' TINY spot. Ridiculous. I can't imagine
how many of the vendors even pay their bill, let alone make money.
4) the EAA vendor space does not include a phone line in the cost. That required
an extra $400 if you wanted to reliably process credit cards. Cell phones
and internet were available... but not always! This was a huge problem. My hat
is off to all our customers who worked with us on some of the issues related
to this, which is a LONG story.
5) the new location apparently also seemed to have prompted the EAA to eliminate
nearly all aviation only sellers from the fly market. Ugh. It was a great place
to buy popcorn blouses and yard decorations though. It truly has become
a flea market.
I love the EAA. Really. They have provided us with many years of great shows,
etc. However, if I don't tell why we're not at Airventure this year many of
our customers will make the wrong assumption about our business health. Happily,
we're doing great in spite of a crappy economy. We simply can't afford the
huge investment of time and effort to do a show that offers some benefits, but
far more headaches.
Thanks for asking. It needs to be known why the fly market simply ain't what it
used to be. FWIW, the other vendor spaces at Oshkosh are priced out of reach
of all but the most ferocious competitors. They are simply out of reach to
most small vendors. We simply didn't get into this business to be sharks. We're
much happier being casually successful and not trying to beat our brains out
while doing it!
