Default NEW 2-X TILTMETER READY.

HI GUYS,
THE NEW DUAL AXIS METER IS READY. I SHIFTED THE SCALE
UP 5 DEGREES, TILTED IT BACK 5 DEGREES, AND MADE THE
NUMBERS LARGER AND X-10. I WAS ABLE TO DAMPEN THE
PENDULUM SLIGHTLY ALSO. IT STILL SWINGS PRETTY
FREELY, (MAYBE A LITTLE TO MUCH STILL), BUT WORKS
WELL. AT FIRST, IT WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE AS A
COMPLETE UNIT. LATER, I WILL OFFER IT TO AD ON TO
EXISTING MODELS ANYONE HAS. ALSO GOING TO BE
LIMITED MODELS AVAILABLE. I WILL HOPEFULLY SPEAK TO
MUHAMMAD TODAY AND SEE IF WE CAN OFFER IT FOR A
DISCOUNT FOR A SHORT WHILE. MAYBE HE CAN PUT IT
ON TBN ORDER PAGE. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT DUE TO
DESIGN, THE PENDULUM WILL SWING FREE WHEN ON ROUGH
TERRAIN. I USED MINE ON A PLOWED FIELD, AND GOT ALOT
OF SWING. WHEN I USED IT ON ANOTHER FIELD TO MOW,
IT WORKS WELL. THANKS, RICK

Rick,
Don't know if you have done this already, but would it be possible to glycerin fill it to dampen the swing?

DaveL,
The first proto-type I made was liquid filled. Under very
rough treatment, it leaked, due to the liquid expansion under
hot temps. The rough treatment causes microscopic cracks
in the seams, and the expansion forced liquid out. Maybe
someday I'll try a different approach. Thanks, Rick
