How do you do dat???

Oops, just tried the link and it didn't work. Anyone know why?
Don't know why cyberflyer's doesn't work.
BTW I've seen the handle and it looks very well done, but is there not any adjustment for length of lines?
regards,
Rick "catdaddy" Blankenship
There is. The metal parts can slide in an out a little bit to accomodate slight variation in the line length/neutral. It's held in place by two clamp bolts on each side, captured, and the way it's prevented from slipping is pretty darn clever. It won't accomodate large differences in the lines, but most people have no problem getting them within 1/16" or so. I usually get better than that, to the point that I can interchange lines and handles pretty freely (although it's of course a better idea to set up a handle/lines and keep them together as a package).

From the Classified Section: "Ted's Overwhelmed" thread.
Holy Cow, guys!
Sheesh! I got parts for 50 standard and 50 plus size handles and thought I'd be lucky to sell 'em. As of today, the 31st at 1800 Pacific time I've sold out of standard handles. The plus size version is not quite as popular but I've only got a handlful of those left as well, about 15 or so.
Tomorrow morning I'll be ordering parts for another 50 of each. I can't say for sure when they'll come in but as soon as I get an estimate from the cutters and have an idea when I can start shipping again I'll post it immediately.
I stated earlier and I stand by it that I will cash no check unless the handle is in the mail. In addition, until I receive the new shipment I'll respond to each order with a note asking if you prefer to wait until I'm able to ship or if you'd prefer to have your check returned. Either choice will be accomadated at the earliest opportunity.
It would be helpful to me if you desire to order at this time if you'd put a note in the letter advising me you're willing to wait until the kits are available. It would save me some time and postage expense.
Even easier would be an email note to me at: [email protected]
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks, Ted
Geeezz, you've got postings and free plugs and classified ads and normal-appearing postings which are blatantly out of context in any other than the "Classified" forum spread all over the place. We can't even get a good argument started with your stuff cluttering up the screen.
Is this the "Halo Effect" of which Mr. Godzilla has spoken in the past?
Looking forward to seeing my "+" Ted Wowie-kazowie-just-like-the-champ Fancher handle come in today's mail.
An ARF handle to use with my ARF Nobler.
How long are we gonna keep secret from Cat Daddy that while Brett evidently uses the world's largest vernier caliper to get his lines to such a high level of accuracy, many of the rest of us depend upon home-made line clips, a whole bunch of 'em, all slightly different in length?

Ted gets his *a lot* closer than I do. Maybe I'm just so darn good that I can fly anything no matter where the neutral is set. But probably not - I just fly so crudely that I can't tell the difference.
