Weight – Fly line weight is an industry standard measure of the actual weight in grains of the first 30 feet (9.1 m) or 9.1 meters of fly line. Fly rods are designed to cast fly lines of a specific weight. Fly line weights vary from 1 weight to 15 weight using standards established by the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association. A 5 ...

A bamboo fly rod or a split cane rod is a fly fishing rod that is made from bamboo.The British generally use the term "split cane." In the U.S., most use the term "bamboo." The "heyday" of bamboo fly rod production and use was an approximately 75-year period from the 1870s to the 1950s when fiberglass became the predominant material for fly r
Oyster Fly Rods is a bamboo fly rod making business in Blue Ridge, Georgia. [1] It belongs to famous fly fisherman Bill Oyster, [2] who makes "every one" of the forty custom rods produced each year by hand, as well as a few standardized rods. He described the process as: "I split each twelve-foot length of cane into six strips...
The D-subminiature or D-sub is a common type of electrical connector. They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. They are named for their characteristic D-shaped metal shield. When they were introduced, D-subs were among the smallest connectors used on computer systems.
This idea had been used many years earlier by Granger. His use of a "ventilated grip" (already used by Wes Jordan for his South Bend fly rods, [3] which left spaces between the cork rings for a skeletal appearance), aluminum for his reel seats and ferrules. His desire to shed as much weight as possible from a fly rod created an aesthetic all ...
The DelFly project started in 2005 as a Design Synthesis Exercise for a group of Bachelor of Science students at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of the TU Delft.The flapping wing design was mentored by Wageningen University, [3] the remote control and micro camera integration by Ruijsink Dynamic Engineering, and the real-time image processing by the TU Delft.

Huntair Pathfinder Mark 1 ultralight. Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft. Some countries differentiate between weight-shift control and conventional three-axis control aircraft with ailerons, elevator and rudder, calling the former "microlight" and the latter "ultralight".
