    Shiny Flyz

    I had an old set of Flyz that have always been a little too rough on the tarp lines. I know that Dutch has offered to replace older Flyz with newer ones that have a better bevel, but I figured why not just break out the Dremel and get it done. Soooo, here is the before and after.... did I mention that I have a slight OCD

    Before...


    And after...


    I'm not recommending doing this, just thought they looked purdy

    But if you do, make sure to leave the antenna gap rough to bite onto the line.

    I'm thinking rock tumbler.
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the strength to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Titanium Grinding vs. Tumbling

    Could be the way to go for someone like Dutch.
