    Fergus, Further to the other replies that you have had which suggest lining the supporting medium with carpet, the trouble with carpet is that it absorbs water if you have to trail in the rain. I now use polypropylene belt with synthetic leather sleeve over the top. I still get a slight mark on the wing but it is relatively easy to remove. Roger (G-BXTD)

    To jeff Roberts, Jeff -Baby blue, Kim, Raimo and Bob, Thanks for having taken the time to save my wings. I'm going out to find the carpeting that fits the bill today. Think I'll slide a plate of polyethylene next the wings, and force the clamps out a bit. Also, I found Raimo's solution to be ideal - rub out black rubber with a rubber eraser....... Once again, the net pays great dividends! Cheers, Ferg

    Ferg- I have gone a little differrent route. I placed the wings vertically (TE down) and covered about 10 inches of the LE and down about 24 inches with plastic. I then took 4 plies of uni about 8 inches X 48 inches and laid them over the LE to use it like a mold. I added plastic on the outside of it and taped it to assure that the UNI held fast to the shape of the wing. After cure, I cut it into two pieces 4 X 48 and used them to outline the shape of the wing on plywood. I made up two pieces from plywood and glued the UNI forms into them. I line the UNI with bubble wrap to transport the wings and it seems to work very well. For those who are having trouble with rubber getting onto your wings, the bubble wrap may ge a good solution. It is very inexpensive and can be used several times.

    Yes, i had the nuts welded to the washers, result is that the friction points are between the nylon washers and the lever. Original design slips between metal washers and nuts. So far, 135 hrs, no need to adjust. Regards, Jos Okhuijsen Visit - www.EuropaOwners.org

    Hi! All Only slightly "off topic", yes sure enough reg No. N714GZ is in my log book ! It is interesting to see the attitude of the law in the USA ....compared to what it would be here in the UK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is also interesting to see that the aircraft has survived probably thousands of hours whilst being abused by many training pilots at Ormond Beach Training School. Like a trip back in time, what ?

I recognised the registration as one of the old Cessnas that I have flown on a few occasions, it may be in your log book also! Best regards, John.
