Re: cradle design

Hey Craig,

I've seen a number of corsair cradles, mostly owned by cadet units.
Unfortunately I don't have measurements, however if no-one manages to
find a design for one I can probably do one up (before my current job
I moonlighted as an engineer, so it shouldn't be difficult). That
way, there will be a copy of a cradle around for future use (I'll send
a copy to the Corsair association as well). Any preference for
construction material?
