    Footman Loops - Where?

    All, anyone know where I can locally source footman loops from? iBoats here has one size but they are just a little too small. I'd like to stick with stainless but will go with polished chrome if I can find them at a local place. I tried the Depot and Ace Hardware. Any ideas, just toss it out.

    Lost a Friend

    Well, sometimes people are just lucky to leave us while doing the things they love to do... **** was a friend and mentor when I was just learning how to soar.

    Bearing Buddy Not Holding Grease

    Was doing my normal walk around check and noticed one of my BB was empty. Looked behind the wheel and the wheel, tire, axle and disk for the brake is covered in grease. What causes this and what do I need to replace? Hey, the good news is the my disk isn't rusted. :D
