Any of you guys that actually do end up getting a Sidewinder, I suggest you do this mod I came up with. Remove the Allen bolt that is in the clamp that secures the drill motor to the drive tube and replace it with a handle screw and a bushing. These things are available from places industrial supply places like McMaster Carr. This allows you to remove drill portion super fast and without need of any tools. To make it work, you do need to drill, tap and install a little set screw to keep the locking collar permanently  attached to the drive tube. See photos below-

Is that the extended tube as well?

I'm not sure. I didn't know there where different lengths. I bought mine about seven years ago, so maybe they are different now.

The manufacturer will discount the $1675 list price to $1525 plus shipping if I can get five ordered.

He also told me they are putting up a new website with online ordering, and there will be a price increase in the next few weeks.

I sent a PM as well but I'm in for a Sidewinder.  Who else?

[xcrmckenna]

I’m good for one

If you order directly from Sidewinder individually here's the cost ($1715.00 with shipping):

 

 

From Aircraft Spruce I can pass on my discount - it would be $1591.25 including drop shipping to your address:

I’m a 100% in at the discounted price. 

Do we have a solid 5 takers now ? 

[LANCECASPER]

We aren't getting a volume discount so these can be ordered one at a time.

[hypertech]

Do we have the 5 for the group buy?  If so, lets do it.  But if not, I'll order through Lance before the price hike.

[xcrmckenna]

Hypertech took the words out of my mouth. I would like to make an order either way by the weekend.

I'm on the same timeline- I"m #3.

[smccray]

I said I was #3 but it looks like we may have 5- Paging @exM20K

I see:

@xcrmckenna @hypertech @Pirate @carusoam (still a CB- you don't have to post here) and me.  Do I have that right?

Ok - here's how it will work:

 

Contact Linn via email info@redlineaviation.com.  Tell him you're part of the mooney group purchase.  Once he gets five, he'll start making them.

As long as we have five orders we get the discount. Order away:)

I have one I will sell.  A sidewinder that is, as pictured above.  I got it recently but somehow Im still using my gas powered unit which I am just used to and I like.  So there it sits in my hangar not being used much and I guess I don't need two tows.  Its in great shape.  Make me an offer I can’t refuse.

I am guessing it's sold in 30 minutes or less.

Wow. Mooneyspacers must be doing better financially, or they finally figured out the genius of this device. Back in 2010 when I got mine, the Mooneyspace wisdom was, yes it's cool, but it's way over priced. "For that much I could get..." All manner of $200 DIY solutions were proffered up, combined with the usual bargain hunter bragging of "I found this at a garage sale for $100!" Now it looks like Mooney folks are getting serious! 

You guys won't be sorry.
