Well, not really for sale, but I have an idea I'll give away.
Builders and tinkers (I know--that's repetitive) are always buying things,
which means they also have things to sell. Builders, trying to unload good
'stuff', are denigrated to sheepish posts to the List, mentioning they have
a few odd items for anyone interested. Of course, there are a few brazen
ones that make no attempt to respect the prohibition against commercialism
on the list and make half hearted attempts to camouflage their efforts--but
fool no one. Nonetheless, I've seen few people that resent being exposed to
a good buy or a good product. Why should the willing sellers need to feel
ashamed to expose willing buyers to a good deal?
The solution? How about a separate 'For Sale' List where builder can
list/unload their surplus items, rather than have to make some lame
reference to Ebay. A separate list for 'Vendors' may even have merit.
There's a few products out there I'd like to know about that may not have
the exposure of a Garmin or King, et al. The feedback the sellers/vendors
would face on the list would keep them pretty honest and help all of us sort
out the good from the bad.
Probably been tried, and abandoned already, but its worth a thought. No?

Hi Chuck,
I think this is a terrific idea. I wanted a new GPS and to partially fund it
I rounded up a bunch of stuff in my hangar and listed it on Ebay. It all
sold and for good prices but,,,,, just at pay off time, PayPal crashed and now
a
bunch of folks are sitting around, unable to access thier accounts. Know way
to know if they have paid or not. Money has been sent but not received and
thier is no way to talk to Ebay or PayPal.
I would support any effort you make in this direction.
Dennis Thomas

I am also about to attach the windscreen but the directions that say to
scuff the aluminum and Plexiglas with 40 to 80 grit emory cloth are
daunting. I fear that a rough grit like this will remove all of the
Alclad from the aluminum and cause the Plexiglas to crack. Has anybody
used a lesser grit paper, or even ScothBrite, and still had good
adhesion to the fiberglass?

Vans reply is not to be shy about scuffing it up.. you want a really good
bond and it all gets covered up with the glass anyway so the alclad removal
is pretty much a none issue in that area.
