I'm not sure why R-Sky got introduced into this conversation.
'Cos we'll talk about anything and the initial topic is just a starting point for our little conversations.
I want to put Aerostuff spreaders on my Cosmic TC and was hoping there was an alternative to the $25 Aerostuff ferrules.
There are alternatives but do remember that legend has it that Aerostuff ferrules, like the spars, are indestructible.
Given that it is quite cool that these hollow ferrules are tapered and do indeed fit snugly and neatly together.
Of course, whether or not this is worth $25 to you or indeed to anyone is another matter.
