You looked pretty busy during that first launch. Definitely upped the pucker factor. Nice vid and I like that harness. thumbsup

Do you have a good solid source for those mouth releases?

I would like to buy one.

Cool

Well, it has been made somewhere in Russia and I believe shipping to the USA would be difficulty, though I could ask about that thumbsup

But i have blueprint of it, so if you want I could send that to you Wink

Any shipping info would be great. For instance I could send you cash and you could buy one and ship it to me?

I'm not skilled enough to build one but I would like to see any schematics that you have. I think this release could sell well in the US.

Thanks

This is my current mouthlock, it releases when you open your mouth. Tommorow I will find out whether it is possible to get more locks. If so I could send it to you.

That would be awesome!!!

I'll check around to see how many we might want to purchase at the same time.
Might just be one but I'm interested if you can get one or more.

Thanks

Cool

I asked my friend about these locks. He said he has no more, but he promised me to find supplier Smile

Look at these Mouth Releases lighter, without wire, and therefore by far easier to store in the harness:

You can do it yourself or I can do it for you if you need (PM)..

Hmm very interesting...

How much head tilt do you think it takes?
