Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Black Widow paddle kit
This paddle was on display at Dayton, (If memory serves me correctly) and
I got to use it. I observed the same thing, but if you like wider
spacing, I remember that you can "flip" the arms so the paddles mount
outside and push on the brass. Might also be simple enough to add a piece
of brass stock that the screw pushes against to reinforce things.

It looks to be a fine piece of engineering, Eric, apart from the paddles
which seem very fragile. Considering that the force of the thumb and index
finger will be pushing against the paddles which only have a screw head
supporting them, my guess is that one would need to be very light fisted.
Just an observation from the picture - I could be wrong.
