Guys,
Did you really think this bozo would pay up?. For Gods sake he can't make and ship product to his word, what makes you think he can keep his word? John-Boy, you just keep on doing what you are doing, we could not hurt you more than you hurt yourself.
As for the Shot Show, come on by the B and P America booth and say hello, I am the guy with the Director of Military and Police sales name tag on, I would be happy to show your light to some REAL industry people who would be happy to tell you to your face what a POS it is, and where you could stick it to get the best light. Oh, and John, we did indeed BUY one of your lights for testing, it lasted for a little over a half hour on the range and after 11 frangable shots, it was toast. Lens shattered, reflector cracked, blub wasted. Not the kind of thing you want on an entry weapon if you are the first guy through the door.

The Beaver "is a single engine, high wing aircraft, with a 450 HP Pratt and Whitney nine cylinder star engine."
The AT6 was "equipped with a 600 HP 9-cylinder Pratt & Whitney star engine."
The Corsair being discussed "is fitted with a Pratt & Whitney R2800 CB-3 18 cylinder double-star engine."
Seems pretty clear a "star engine" was a type of engine made by more than one manufacturer and used in more than one WWII era aircraft. The AT6 was a trainer used for years afer WWII.

I saw same references, as I said, doesn't give any descriptions or real info on them. Being that they tend to odd numbers, I'm guessing they'd be what normal people call a radial engine. WHich was losing ground quickly in AMerica before we put jet engines in any plane.

Radial = "star." Makes sense.
Yeti Man,
I do not believe, what You are saying.: hitting the lens direct may breack, cracking the reflector, there is no entry weapon or any other other weapon, that would crack the reflector that is machined out of aluminum 6061-T6. You full of sh4567t...
If you have the light, (what remained of it )return it to us and I pay You the $65.00 that you paid for it!!!Q!
So we can see it and maybe even improove on it.
To OTHERS:
Any body knows , where to ssend the cheque, because I do not??? and if you do not either, than shut Your maul!!!

Roth:
g.b. does have a point here. You should provide him a name and address (preferably by e-mail) to send the check. Sounds like g.b. is willing to send the $100.00 that you have won. Please advise if it does not occur.
Yeti Bro:
If you still have the tested light, it might prove interesting to examine. I will stop by the booth in February.
g.b.:
Did you have any luck getting registered for the show? Let me know if you will need facilities for a side by side test. I might be able to assist in that regard.

I will get the remains back from AZ DPS when I get back from the SCI Convention next week (if they have not thrown that POS in the dumper) and you are welcome to it. I will be in the booth starting on Thursday and you can come by for a look and to see our new low recoil 1 oz slugs that are catching the interest of the PD and Military.
Blade and Spoosa
There is a very nice English/Irish bar not too far from the Las Vegas Convention Center. The first ones on me!

I really don't give a furry rats patootie what you think. Your lights are trash, your claims are bogus, your word is worthless and you Sir, may now go outside and play hide and go f**k yourself.
I'm leaving for Reno!

i guess it's true that people will do crazy things for an easy buck.
at least i didn't have to fork out $1 for a lottery ticket, though the odds of winning may be similar.
if goncz does indeed pay as promised then i will issue a full apology for the above statement.
i went to his website and clicked the contact button, below is a copy of what i sent:
---
hello john
here's the email, as you requested.
my address is:
*address removed by rothrandir*
i trust that this email, in addition to the username "rothrandir" and the name on top is enough to satisfactorily verify my identity.
i appreciate you making good on your bet
as i said previously, i also have a paypal account. this would be easier for me, and possibly easier for you as well. something to consider i suppose.
-jim

after i clicked "submit" i was returned to the page with no form of verification.
goncz, if you didn't get the email please let me know so i can resend with my e-mail service.
i look forward to hearing from you
*edit* doh, after posting this i realized that i had forgotten to edit my address out of the post.

Thanks for the offer and we will take You on. You arrange an unbias tests, whatever You choose and you may post it and the results as maybe. If there is a fault we will fix it. There are maybe points, that we need to improve, maybe the lens from 3 mm to 4mm, whatever we will do it...
We will not take some '6 pack Joes' to make a claim, that is not backed!!!
Please send me a Private E mail or phone that we can arrange the shipment...
Some request for Hard Anodizing "no problem if some one wants it" we will make it . No big things. I still believe that a heavy Type II is supperior to simple Type III.

We, do not need any appology from You for Your statement. You made it and stand behind it, even if it was stupid, and Your will want to withdraw it... A statement is like a fired gun. Ones You pull the trigger; Bang.. no recall. Same with the posting once is up is there and leave it there.

i think you misenterpreted what i said about an apology.
i do stand behind my statement, otherwise i wouldn't have said it.
what i meant was if that if/when you do make good on it, i will apologize for doubting you...not apologize for making my statement.
aw heck, might as well post my address here.
i still dont' see how it's relevant to the paypal process though...would you care to explain that?

(now i don't want any of you other guys sending me knives or flashlights...
)
you do seem to be interested in improving your products, here are some suggestions that could be implimented with a fair amount of ease:
better orings
better coatings on the reflector
ha3 annodyzing, black is still my preferance
some new form of tailswitch. this could potentially be more complicated, but i really think it would be worth whatever investment you make. even a kroll is a vast improvement, and works very well with this light.
other things to consider would be a new bulb system, and reducing the diameter of the body. if i have time i may do a photoshop mockup of what i'm talking about here, but my photoshop skills aren't all that great.
