Dave,
I know your frustration but looks good -- you might need a tie wrap to hold that
bungee away from the flaperon control -looks like it close to rubbing.
5 wraps likely will not be enough - it will be too soft. Just rock the wings
on the ground hard up and down and watch the suspension moving. Bungees will loosed
over time. Short time likely you willl notice.
I gonna be pulling off mine for floats install very soon--- Looks like I will have
to do a video for you guys to show you how easy it really is.
If you are a subscriber on my youtoube channel then you will get a notice when I put it up http://www.youtube.com/user/kitfoxflyer?feature=mhee

A video would be good, I was think about it last night and replaying the
install in my mind. I think I know a way to get more out of it with less
hassle and tools. I'll wait to see if I feel it's too soft before changing
anything at this point.
The cords are well clear of anything they could rub on, it's just the camera
lens. I have a couple of cheap digital cameras, can't find the one that
takes good pictures.

I was finally ready to post this video so I figured I had to share it with you
Hopefully it is entertaining. No showing off for the camera, it is just how we
operated.
