Subject: | Re: Bungee best practice questions |
Thanks, Paul and Lynn. Indeed, velcro needs something that can bend to peel it
off. Hose clamps seem a good idea too, Lynn. What I wanted to make sure is that
there is no structural weakness induced by making a simpler attachment than
those multitude of tiny screws I have.
I thought about velcro, Paul, because the guy who built my Kitfox in 1992 was very
fond of it and used it extensively to attach the seat covers, etc.
Thanks again, guys!
Cheers,
Michel

>I reached down and grabbed a handful of flaps,
additional flaps were only available because I don't normally use full
flaps,
and we jumped off the ground. Without that move I think I would have
ripped
off the gear again, but instead we jumped off the ground immediately.<
Jeff ,
This is a technique I used to use on occasion in a Piper Tri Pacer I
used to own. The most memorable was when taking off on a short island in the
middle of a lake in California. Just prior to hitting the water I popped the
flaps down,my passenger screamed, and we were flying....tis a good
procedure and works well !

Ahh, the mighty Tripacer! A 1953 version was the family queen ship; I got my private
in it, 37 years ago it pains me to admit. Like the Kitfox, I think it was
a good design that offers a lot of value for the buck. What does that say about
you and me? I prefer the term "frugal". JRD
