GREAT SUCCESS!

Today, members of Team NARP achieved remarkable results after some officesupply engineering.

To make a splitter, go to your local UPS store, or Kinkos (Home Depot might be overkill but some prefer their selection).

You will need:

Yellow Duct Tape
Black Duct Tape
Random cardboard box
Up to 6 plastic knives for supports
A real knife for cutting the cardboard
Permanent marker for adding graphics.

The design speaks for itself, so here goes...

Grant: You are right. There definitely is a potential market for cheap performance parts for the 914. You ever see anyone around here asking for higher prices on perfromance parts? Tricky part is that once you put fiberglass and resin on the cardboar it increases the price by 50 times. Now if you glued together multiple sheets of cardboard in alternating directions (like plywood) you might have something.

Hmm... boxes and 3M super 77 adhesive spray. Probably moves you up from UPS/Kinkos to Staples/Office Depot, but still a bargain!

In my work, I deal with alot of graphs and statistics, so whenever I see a new graph, I look at the scales before I look at the plot(s).

I can't believe this is turning into an almost serious consideration. Instead of laying cardboard like plywood, why not just use plywood (since we're still shopping at home depot and this idea brings us back to absurd). Yeah, it might be heavy, but it will resist "retracting" above 30 mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
