Re: Will the KXPD1-K2 have other uses?

Hi Andy,

I suppose you could do this, but it might defeat part of the purpose of
shrinking the paddle down to its small size and weight. I'd recommend
balsa  ;)

There's enough surface area on the bracket that you could drill a hole
and mount it on something besides the K2 tilt stand. For example, it
should be possible to use just the front half of the bracket as a mount
for the K1 tilt stand. You'd have to drill one hole.
