MET A GUY AT CAP'N DON'S IN THE LATE FALL, WE STARTED DISCUSSING FLAP TAILS. JOHN WAS TOO YOUNG TO KNOW WHAT A FLAPTAIL WAS. TURNS OUT THE GENT USED TO WORK W/ BOB POND. HE RELATED BOB PUT A FLAP TAIL OUT -WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW.
GOT HOME IN THE LAB -; ADDED SPLIT RING TO END LOOP, HUNG A SWIVEL TO THE RING, ANOTHER RING TO THE OTHER END OF THE SWIVEL FOLLOWED BY A FLAPTAIL ALL ATTACHED TO THE BUTT END OF AN ATOM 40.
SWAM IT OFF THE BEACH AS A FIELD TEST. MERCY MAUDE! CAN'T WAIT TO TRY IT UNDER BATTLE CONDITIONS!
