Status: offline 		I hope it's okay to post this here, because I'm not sure where else to post it...

For about 6 months now, I've been manufacturing a small bracket that is used for mounting the FMA Co-Pilot to the tailboom of helicopters.

I designed this mount because the recommended method for securing the Co-Pilot to the tailboom was to zip-tie it on. This of course was not a very safe or reliable option.

Anyway, I make the mounts out of my home, using what few tools I have, out of Dupont Delrin. If you read my feedback from people who have bought one (there's a lot, no, a TON of people who haven't left feedback) you can see that it's a well made product, and I take my time with them, and try to make them look perfect.

I sell about 10 of them a week. I sell a dull finish and a glossy finish. The dull finish sells for $22 shipped, and the glossy finish sells for $32 shipped. Most people buy the dull finish, which is actually quite glossy anyway....

As I said before, I sell about 10 a week, so I make some pretty good extra money on the side, but because of a new business venture, I am not going to be able to keep this up much longer.

Now, I tried to sell the idea to FMA, but they couldn't justify the cost of building a machine to make these things, so they passed...

So, this is where you come in! If ANYONE with some good construction skills, some spare time, and a desire to make some extra money is interested, I would like to offer the design, the remainder of my materials, and ALL EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS to the design for a moderate price. (VERY MODERATE! I'm negotiable!)

I just don't have the time anymore, so please email me if you're interested.

Thanks,
-Derrick
