gofastclint Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I struggle to walk 10m without aid, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good brand of folding walking stick small enough to stow in a Jabiru. All the brands I have tested have been too flimsy. Just for humor, here's some nick names I have received from fellow flyers at The Oaks: Hop along. Limpy. Prangster. Hoppy. That crippled guy. Now every time I get home from flying I cry myself to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Look I have seen some pretty neat and efficient folding walking sticks in my day (not used one myself yet) but as far as where you get them ?...sorry,not a clue. Good luck though. Maybe Google it if you use the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the brands I have tested have been too flimsy. Have a look at this link GF http://www.walking-stick.net/acatalog/Carbon_Fibre.html They look so flash I'm thinking of getting one myself .... and I don't even need one (yet). This would definitely make me look like a rat with a gold tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcruffle Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've seen them at chemists - not that dear. They are segmented with an elasticised cord running down the centre: you stretch them and collapse them.... if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest keeffe Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I know a para plegic that flies a bonanza and he also drives a manual with a stick. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
