Re: - Also it would be pretty simple to modify an Aikman V/P to work
for F1M -

As if by magic, There's a pic of one in the VP hubs folder. Yes I
know, more of those damn red tubes! This one is 1.25" long and the
yoke is 0.10" sq, 10.00lb wood. Complete weight is about 0.24 g. The
only difference with my F1D hubs is a 3rd screw for spring tension
adjustment. Haven't tried it yet but I made another one for a GB
flyer (not a commercial venture!) who won in Spain with it.

I don't think anyone makes F1M hubs commercially.
