(I wasn't sure what size I wanted a couple of years ago, for my ski rigging, so I ordered three sizes.)

But just out of curiosity, would there be a problem if I made up LG bungees of 5/16, using 8 or 9 loops instead of the 6 loops for 3/8. Seems like it might be easier to install. Second question, is there any difference between the bungee cord I get from CPS or ACS and what I might buy from Ace hardware? Jim KF2/582 Pahrump NV > [b] Jim, here's the information in a letter I received with my Classic 4 kit. "The 3/8" diameter cord is 66" long and requires six wraps. The 5/16" diameter cord is 90" long and requires thirteen wraps." The bungee cord I bought at ace hardware...to make a snow bungee, not to use on my kitfox...has a very stiff and abrasive cover. I think it would act like a saw on aircraft tubing. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=278555#278555 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:55:40 AM PST US From: "Dwight Purdy" Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: LG bungee cord Tom I guess Ace stores do not all stock the same cord as mine was very slick polyester.

I think it might mike just over 3/8 though. Will pake a pic later. MIL spec Cord is much more firmer than the cheap hardware store stuff. Make a loop and pull it or hang from it . BIg differance.

Hope you and yours has a Very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year !! CHECK RIDE FOR SANTA !!! Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and the FAA examiner arrived last week for the pre-Christmas flight check. In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure all his paperwork was in order. He knew they would examine all his equipment and truly put Santa's flying skills to the test. The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and even Rudolph's nose. He painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance calculations for sled's enormous payload. Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in and fastened his seat belt and shoulder harness and checked the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to Santa's surprise, a shotgun. "What's that for!?" asked Santa incredulously. The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you this ahead of time," as he leaned over to whisper in Santa's ear, "but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff." Fly Safe !!
