Were you ever able to get any strain gage testing done? Just curious.

I am still working on the strain gauging. Planning to be complete by February (work & family commitments). I'll post photos of the testing setup in a couple weeks.

Just take it out on the rocks and if it drives home you've got a good product. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm surprised these have not sold quicker... so far - 5 gone.

1 to the UK
1 to Canada
3 to Australia

ZERO to USA - kind of crazy.

Oh well... Here is a photo of the Premium Kit:
