jointed eely

Flaptail, You read my mind. I may try one like that this AM before
I have to sit down and get to work :-) You're right about the proportion. In hindsight, I think I started with stock that was too small a diamter. That x-ray would be interesting to see...

Still way to much on the slope. For a look at some flat faced Eelys by Beachmaster go to page 41 on the Some Plugs thread link.

Why even try.........
