foilding walking stick recomendations

[gofastclint]

I struggle to walk 10m without aid, I was wondering if anyone knows of a good brand of folding walking stick small enough to stow in a Jabiru. All the brands I have tested have been too flimsy.

 

Just for humor, here's some nick names I have received from fellow flyers at The Oaks:

 

Hop along.

 

Limpy.

 

Prangster.

 

Hoppy.

 

That crippled guy.

 

Now every time I get home from flying I cry myself to sleep.

Look I have seen some pretty neat and efficient folding walking sticks in my day (not used one myself yet) but as far as where you get them ?...sorry,not a clue. Good luck though. Maybe Google it if you use the internet.

Have a look at this link GF http://www.walking-stick.net/acatalog/Carbon_Fibre.html

 

They look so flash I'm thinking of getting one myself .... and I don't even need one (yet).

 

This would definitely make me look like a rat with a gold tooth.

I've seen them at chemists - not that dear. They are segmented with an elasticised cord running down the centre: you stretch them and collapse them.... if that makes sense.

only problem is they are too short and flimsy, I'm going to make one myself.

I know a para plegic that flies a bonanza and he also drives a manual with a stick.
