Why are slip-skid balls so expensive? Seriously.
My Trutrak ADI-pilot slip-skid ball acts like it has a flat spot on the ball, or flat spots in the tube, or something, that makes it sit in one spot regardless of small changes in slip or skid. Takes a pretty big swing to get it to move - to a new flat spot.
So I figured I would just buy a stand-along slip-skid ball. Holy cow, the cheapest one I see on ACS is about $90! And you can spend much more!
I am worried about other aspects of what I am going to do if/when the Trutrak croaks, but I will cross that bridge later. For now, would just like a cheap, small slip-skid ball to screw to the panel.
Suggestions?
