Subject: Re: Scooters
Billy, George is the artist.
Please help him to trip over his shoe laces.

He said that the halcyon scooter came with extras.
Then he said the price difference (3500 vs 4800) was due to their marketing.

He said he made sever changes to the scooter Stone copied.
There is a winding change on the motor.

He said I'm over 60.
I'm younger than him.

He said that Gavin designed the scooter not Bill Mee.
I said Bill Mee was his designer.
Gavin designed the scooter
George copied Gavin.
Stone copied George and they came up with a 20 km unit.
My copy is two generations later.
These plans have been floating around the internet for two years.

I questioned the 300 ft rating.
George want to tell us about a few units that have been tested or dove to
greater depths.  I'm still waiting for the Navy report to show up.
The issue was what are the production units tested to on a regular basis.
Two years ago he had motors burning out in 30 minutes because they weren't
being tested at all, just assembled.

George fix all of the scooters but said there was nothing wrong with his
world class scooters before admitting to the motor failures.

George claims 18k feet but never releases a dive profile.
We can see why he doesn't want a computer on his wrist.
Stone put all of his profiles on the internet fro the diving community to
review.

We get little from GI & JJ.

End of story
