Welcome to the forum, you'll find several builders on here each with their own style of rotary to feed your addiction

Thank you! Well it is a small world! Looking into A Roy Richardson, and Rotary Works, quite like the Rapier too! I can see lots of cash being spent soon!! Does anyone make something similar to the Hyper? I like Stigmas but I don't like the prices or the waiting list! Just had my Slingshot built by Bill at Special Techniques and man that guy can build machines!

How works the Slingshot for you ? What kind of work you did with them ? Is it a aluminium machine ? I read they are pretty light ?!

For the record credit should also go to Brian (Bills much quieter partner) for the Special Technique Machines. Brian is the man who drives the mill and makes all the angles right on the machines

Well there you go! Thanks Brian too!! Already got the dragonfly, been running one since august 2010 and I can't fault it, got my slingshot on Monday, not had chance to use it yet, planning on Friday for a portrait piece I have in, so I will let you know. I opted for a mid weight brass frame.

There is also the swash if you like the swash plate design though there is not as much adjustment on the fly. I have seen very good reviews posted regarding those machines and from what I gather the newer versions of the swash are lighter than the stigma, if you are a weight weeny*.
* "weight weeny" is a common cycling term for a rider who has mortgaged their home in the quest to finance the build of a bicycle that weighs less then the shit they took that morning and is not at all race legal.
