OFF TOPIC not building - "Sure-Find" Rocket Deploy

Post by Wayne G. O'Shea » Sat Feb 18, 2012 12:04 am

Hello guys/gals. Hope you don't mind me "stealing" this medium to try and
help me fund my aviation addictions, but thought you may be interested in
this wonderful SAR product. This item was designed/patented by Grant and
Mike McDaniel (yes the same Grant that was at Murphy Tech) of Rosedale BC. I
started working with Grant on the retail of these back in July and I'm now
fully confident to search out the full market for this "save your bacon"
product. I have attached a "what if scenario" below as a sales tool.......
to give you an idea of just what these are all about. If anyone is
interested after checking out the links, please send me an email direct at
oifa@irishfield.on.ca

Thanks, Wayne

To be found, or not to be found, that is the question!

So you've told your wife that you'll be back in a couple hours, jumped into
your beloved aircraft and blasted off into the wild blue yonder! While you'
re out tooting around you decide to open up your flight radius and check out
the fall leaves of the Algonquin Park area. An hour later, after flying
around in amazement at the wonderful colours, you realize that while you
were head down the weather has gone from fair to terrible.

You head for home and the ceiling gets lower and lower. It doesn't look any
better behind you so you slowly continue on and just then the skies open up
like an Amazon River flood. Forward visibility is lost, you're already down
on the deck with rising terrain all around, and you decide (or have terra
firma decide for you) that you have no choice but a forced landing into the
forest. You're now a needle in a haystack, or should I say just another
blotch of colour hidden BELOW the forest canopy.

Hey, at this point you're still alive and that's good, but then you realize
that nobody knows where you are! The first thought is your E.L.T. will send
help, but oh yeah you haven't bothered to send it out for a new battery or
certification in years, or you're one of the many pilots that doesn't
believe you need one. Then you remember that one of your kids bought you
this "gift" for your birthday called the "Sure-Find" Rocket deployed rescue
streamer that you smugly grinned and accepted. Since it only weighs 5
ounces, in it's small water proof package of only 1.125" x 2.125" x 8", you'
d thrown it into your flight bag. Opening the package you find that the unit
is packaged in a space sleeping bag and you're so glad it is, considering
that you left home in a golf shirt and you're finding it a bit chilly in the
hills. After getting covered up with the sleeping bag you find the unit is
pretty self-explanatory and you open it up finding the butane lighter
inside. Placing the unit on a firm surface you light the rocket wick and it
fires a 300 foot long fluorescent ribbon up between the trees and the breeze
lays it out across the tops of many. With your shimmering rescue ribbon
nicely in place you use the lighter to ignite the polyethylene shell that
the unit was stored in and get a good fire going with collected wood, while
you wait for help. Nightfall comes and you're so glad that sleeping bag was
wrapped around the signal unit, and you could care less that this foil
"wonder" was also there to make the "Sure-Find" units shippable to UN
Standard 0432 Packing method EP-35 for pyrotechnic devices. Without this
blanket (or a similar wrapping material) the item could not be sent through
the mail.

Morning comes and you can hear the drone of four big engines off in the
distance. After an hour of sitting, with fingers crossed and anxiety high,
you see the shadow of a very large wing in a banked turn. You now suspect
that your rescue ribbon has been spotted twisting and shimmering in the
breeze and fifteen minutes later there is a Labrador helicopter hovering
above you. You're now very glad to see the crew person coming down the
rescue cable, to lash you on and take you home.

The "Sure-Find" rocket deployed rescue streamer is a patented device that
was designed and patented by Grant and Mike McDaniel of Rosedale, British
Columbia. Designed with the downed pilot or lost back packer in mind, the
unit was made extremely light and packaged so it will even float if dropped
into a lake or steam. For more information on this wonderful unit log onto
www.surefind.ca or www.irishfield.on.ca


Purchasing of these units is available through Irish Field Aviation at the
current price of $53.98Cdn each (+ post/tax). oifa@irishfield.on.ca or
