EXHIBIT 10.5

                               ADVISORY AGREEMENT

         THIS ADVISORY  AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made this    18th       day
of July 1998, by and between NuVen Advisors, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Advisor") and Flexweight Corporation, a Kansas corporation (the "Company").

         WHEREAS, Advisor and Advisor's Personnel (as defined below) have
experience in evaluating and effecting mergers and acquisitions, supervising
corporate management, and in performing general administrative duties for
publicly-held companies and development stage investment ventures;  and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Advisor to advise and assist the
Company in its development on the terms and conditions set forth below.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Advisor
agree as follows:

1.       Engagement

         The Company hereby retains Advisor, retroactive to April 1, 1998, the
         date Advisor first began providing the services (the "Effective Date")
         and continuing until termination as provided herein, to assist the
         Company in it's effecting the purchase of businesses and assets
         relative to its business and growth strategy (the "Services").  The
         Services are to be provided on a "best efforts" basis directly and
         through Advisor's officers or others employed or retained and under
         the direction of Advisor ("Advisor's Personnel");  provided, however,
         that the Services shall expressly exclude all legal advice, accounting
         services or other services which require licenses or certification
         which Advisor may not have.

2.       Term

         This Agreement shall have an initial term of one (1) year (the
         "Primary Term"), commencing with the Effective Date.  At the conclusion
         of the Primary Term this Agreement will automatically be extended on an
         annual basis (the "Extension Period") unless Advisor or the Company
         shall serve written notice on the other party terminating the
         Agreement.  Any notice to terminate given hereunder shall be in writing
         and shall be delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of
         the Primary Term or any subsequent Extension Period.

3.       Time and Effort of Advisor

         Advisor shall allocate time and Advisors Personnel as it deems
         necessary to provide the Services.  The particular amount of time may
         vary from day to day or week to week.  Except as otherwise agreed,
         Advisor's monthly statement identifying, in general, tasks performed
         for the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Services have
         been performed.  Additionally,  in the absence of willful misfeasance,
         bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard for the obligations or
         duties hereunder by Advisor, neither Advisor nor Advisor's Personnel
         shall be liable to the Company or any of its any shareholders for any
         act or omission in the course of or connected with rendering the
         Services, including but not limited to losses that may be sustained
         in any corporate act in any subsequent Business Opportunity (as defined
         herein) undertaken by the Company as a result of advice provided by
         Advisor or Advisor's Personnel.
<PAGE>
4.       Compensation

         The Company agrees to pay Advisor a fee for the Services (the "Initial
         Fee") by way of the issuance by the Company of Forty Thousand (40,000)
         shares of the Company's common stock following the Company's closing on
         the purchase of the initial Business Opportunity (as defined below),
         and a  monthly fee ("Advisory Fee") equal to Three Thousand Dollars
         (USD $3,000),  payable monthly in cash or shares of the Company's
         common stock, at the Company's election.

         As incentive to execute this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to
         Advisor an option to purchase Three Hundred Fifty Thousand (350,000)
         shares of the Company's common stock ("Option Shares") exercisable at a
         price of $6.00 per share, which is approximately 110% of the 10-day
         moving average closing bid price for such shares at July 15, 1998.
         Advisory's right to purchase such Option Shares shall be governed by
         the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement attached hereto as
         Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference (the "Option").  The
         right of Advisor to exercise such Option will vest to Advisor upon
         execution hereof.

5.       Other Services

         If, following the Closing by the Company of the first Business
         Opportunity, the Company enters into a merger or exchange securities
         with, or purchases the assets or enters into a joint venture with, or
         makes an investment in a company introduced by Advisor (a "Business
         Opportunity"),  the Company agrees to pay Advisor a fee equal to five
         percent (5%) of the value of each Business Opportunity introduced by
         Advisor and acquired or otherwise participated in by the Company
         (collectively referred to herein, in each instance, as the "Transaction
         Fee"), which shall be payable immediately following the closing of each
         such transaction, in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock.

         The Company and Advisor acknowledge that in the event Advisor, as a
         result of this Agreement,  receives shares of the Company's common
         stock it may be considered an affiliate subject to Section 16(b) of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "'34 Act").  In this regard the
         Company and Advisor agree, that for purposes of any "profit"
         computation under Section 16(b) of the '34 Act, the price paid for such
         shares is equal to the Initial Fee, the Advisory Fee or the Transaction
         Fee, as the case may be.

6.       Registration of Shares

         No later than ten (10) days following the date hereof as to shares
         issued to satisfy the Advisory Fee (if paid in shares), the Option
         Shares and, as to an event giving use to the Company's obligation to
         pay a Transaction Fee, such shares shall be registered by the Company
         with the Securities and Exchange Commission under a Form S-8 or other
         applicable registration statement, and the Company shall cause such
         registration statement to be remain effective until the earlier of the
         first anniversary of the issuance of the most recently issued shares,
         or the sale of all such shares by Advisor, whichever is the earlier
         date.  At Advisor's election, such shares may be issued prior to
         registration in reliance on exemptions from registration provided by
         Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "'33 Act"), Regulation
         D of the '33 Act, and applicable state securities laws.  Such issuance
         or reservation of shares shall be in reliance on representations and
         warranties of Advisor set forth herein.  Failing to register such
         shares, or maintain the effectiveness of the applicable registration
         statement, the Company shall satisfy any Initial Fee, Transaction Fee
         or Advisory Fee in cash within ten (10) days of receipt of Advisor's
         statement setting out the amount and type of fee then due and payable.
<PAGE>
7.       Costs and Expenses

         All third party and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Advisor in the
         performance of the Services shall be paid by the Company, or Advisor
         shall be reimbursed if paid by Advisor on behalf of the Company, within
         ten (10) days of receipt of written notice by Advisor, provided that
         the Company must approve in advance all such expenses in excess of $500
         per month.

8.       Place of Services

         The Services provided by Advisor or Advisor's Personnel hereunder will
         be performed at Advisor's offices except as otherwise mutually agreed
         by Advisor and the Company.

9.       Independent Contractor

         Advisor and Advisor's Personnel will act as an independent contractor
         in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.  Accordingly,
         Advisor will be responsible for payment of all federal, state, and
         local taxes on compensation paid under this Agreement, including income
         and social security taxes, unemployment insurance, and any other taxes
         due relative to Advisor's Personnel, and any and all business license
         fees as may be required.  This Agreement neither expressly nor
         impliedly creates a relationship of principal and agent, or employee
         and employer, between Advisor's Personnel and the Company.  Neither
         Advisor nor Advisor's Personnel are authorized to enter into any
         agreements on behalf of the Company.  The Company expressly retains the
         right to approve, in its sole discretion, each Business Opportunity
         introduced by Advisor,  and to make all final decisions with respect to
         effecting a transaction on any Business Opportunity.

10.      Rejected Business Opportunity

         If, during the Primary Term of this Agreement or any Extension Period,
         the Company elects not to proceed to acquire, participate or invest in
         any Business Opportunity identified and/or selected by Advisor,
         notwithstanding the time and expense the Company may have incurred
         reviewing such transaction, such Business Opportunity shall revert back
         to and become proprietary to Advisor, and Advisor shall be entitled to
         acquire or broker the sale or investment in such rejected Business
         Opportunity for its own account, or submit such assets or Business
         Opportunity elsewhere.  In such event, Advisor shall be entitled to any
         and all profits or fees resulting from Advisor's purchase, referral or
         placement of any such rejected Business Opportunity, or the Company's
         subsequent purchase or financing with such Business Opportunity in
         circumvention of Advisor.

11.      No Agency Express or Implied

         This Agreement neither expressly nor impliedly creates a relationship
         of principal and agent between the Company and Advisor, or employee and
         employer as between Advisor's Personnel and the Company.

12.      Termination

         The Company and Advisor may terminate this Agreement prior to the
         expiration of the Primary Term upon thirty (30) days written notice
         with mutual written consent.  Failing to have mutual consent, without
         prejudice to any other remedy to which the terminating party may be
         entitled,  if any, either party may terminate this Agreement with
         thirty (30) days written notice under the following conditions:

                        Services as set forth herein for thirty (30) consecutive
                        business days because of illness, accident, or other
                        incapacity of Advisor's Personnel;  or,

                (ii)    If Advisor willfully breaches or neglects the duties
                        required to be performed hereunder;  or,

         (B)     By Advisor.

                 (i)    If the Company breaches this Agreement or fails to make

                        or,

                        party, or agrees to a consolidation or merger of itself
                        with or into another corporation, or enters into such a
                        transaction outside of the scope of this Agreement, or

                        corporation, entity or individual outside of the scope
                        of this Agreement;  or,

                 (iii)  If the Company has a receiver appointed for its business
                        or assets, or otherwise becomes insolvent or unable to
                        timely satisfy its obligations in the ordinary course of
                        business, including but not limited to the obligation to
                        pay the Initial Fee, the Transaction Fee, or the
                        Advisory Fee;  or,

                 (v)    If any of the disclosures made herein or subsequent
                        hereto by the Company to Advisor are determined to be
                        materially false or misleading.
<PAGE>

         In the event Advisor elects to terminate without cause or this
         Agreement is terminated prior to the expiration of the Primary Term or
         any Extension Period by mutual written agreement, or by the Company for
         the reasons set forth in A(i) and (ii) above, the Company shall only be
         responsible to pay Advisor for unreimbursed expenses, Advisory Fee and
         Transaction Fee accrued up to and including the effective date of
         termination.  If this Agreement is terminated by the Company for any
         other reason, or by Advisor for reasons set forth in B(i) through (v)
         above, Advisor shall be entitled to any outstanding unpaid portion of
         reimbursable expenses,  Transaction Fee, if any, and the balance of the
         Advisory Fee for the remainder of the unexpired portion of the
         applicable term (Primary Term or Extension Period) of the Agreement.

13.      Indemnification

         Subject to the provisions herein, the Company and Advisor agree to
         indemnify, defend and hold each other harmless from and against all
         demands, claims, actions, losses, damages, liabilities,  costs and
         expenses, including without limitation, interest, penalties and
         attorneys' fees and expenses asserted against or imposed or incurred by
         either party by reason of or resulting from any action or a breach of
         any representation, warranty, covenant, condition, or agreement of the
         other party to this Agreement.

14.      Remedies

         Advisor and the Company acknowledge that in the event of a breach of
         this Agreement by either party, money damages would be inadequate and
         the non-breaching party would have no adequate remedy at law.
         Accordingly, in the event of any controversy concerning the rights or
         obligations under this Agreement, such rights or obligations shall be
         enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of specific performance.
         Such remedy, however, shall be cumulative and non-exclusive and shall
         be in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be
         entitled.

15.      Miscellaneous

         (A)    Subsequent Events.  Advisor and the Company each agree to notify
                the other party if,  subsequent to the date of this Agreement,
                either party incurs obligations which could compromise its
                efforts and obligations under this Agreement.

         (B)    Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended or modified at any
                time and in any manner only by an instrument in writing executed
                by the parties hereto.

         (C)    Further Actions and Assurances.  At any time and from time to
                time, each party agrees,  at its or their expense, to take
                actions and to execute and deliver documents a may be reasonably
                necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
<PAGE>

         (D)    Waiver.  Any failure of any party to this Agreement to comply
                with any of its obligations, agreements, or conditions hereunder
                may be waived in writing by the party to whom such compliance is
                owed.  The failure of any party to this Agreement to enforce at
                any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way
                be construed to be a waiver of any such provision or a waiver of
                the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every
                such provision.  No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance
                with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or
                subsequent breach or non-compliance.

         (E)    Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any right created by it
                shall be assignable by either party without the prior written
                consent of the other.

         (F)    Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or
                permitted by this Agreement must be in writing and shall be
                deemed to be properly given when delivered in person to an
                officer of the other party, when deposited in the United States
                mails for transmittal by certified or registered mail, postage
