[NSRCA-discussion] O-Ring for foamy's?

Mon Jul 14 11:27:27 AKDT 2008

I'll be manufacturing some new prop retainers made from bat wingskin. They are only made from the most select South American fruit bat wing skins and rolled by Amazonian tribal members to achieve the highest flexibility and longevity. These should surely sate the most discerning pattern pilot's need for the highest zoot product made. To ensure their high-zoot-ness, I will be charging $30 per retainer. 
Please make checks payable to...........

On a more serious note, take the stock wobbly adapter O-ring to your auto parts store and buy some AirConditioning system O-rings of the same size from their assortment. They are mint green and hold the prop on more solidly than a standard black O-ring. If you'd rather stick with the standard type, go to your hardware store and hit the plumbing section for a cheap replacement
