Fantastic Third Hand
« on: December 20, 2015, 08:31:00 PM »
I just discovered this cool product on Facebook. It's called the Fantastic Third Hand and can hold your airplane at any angle for better access for rigging. It looks very easy to use. I have no connection to this company and I just ordered one. They have a special holiday deal until the end of the year and also offer free 2-3 day shipping to anywhere in the US. The price is very reasonable. They can be found only on Facebook. Search for Kronos Designs. They have photos and a video demonstrating the product.







Cheers!
George

They are having a special for $59. You can buy it if you're outside the US, but the shipping isn't free.

No surprise. Shipping costs from the US to Europe seem to have exploded during the last two years, even disregarding the bad exchange rate from USD to € nowadays.

I used to buy a lot of books in the US, as they were much cheaper, even including shipping costs and import taxes, but those days have gone...

Yes, they are very fast. I emailed them Sunday night and they responded within the hour. It's supposed to be here tomorrow (Wednesday). Very friendly too! :)

I have ordered mine yesterday.
I have luck, because i have a sister in law in Pennsylvania, and she is bringing my package next year to Germany  :D
So, i have to wait a little bit, but this is OK.

Trying to find someone I know in the US who can do likewise.
