Well guys, I tried. My fear is that we here in the USA will miss this opportunity and will once again find ourselves in a long line waiting for an imported fuse. Collectively, I know we have the talent and expertise to design and build such a pattern plane that will serve to optimize the Contra Drive. Consider one thing for sure, the market for the combination of the RIGHT plane for the Contra Drive has been barely scratched. You can bet on one thing, someone, somewhere out there is reading this thread and is thinking about a way to capitalize on our need! BTW, I have not given up and will try to encourage others (privately) to get involved. Dave, I appreciate your response___Everette
