Sorry to hear of the damage to your airplane. It has to be a lousy feeling but
glad to hear that you'll be able to make the repairs and touch up the patches with
paint.

This is probably one draw back of latex paint. It comes off easy with mek, but
feathering it out takes some time. Each pach we have done looks a little nicer
(less noticable) than the last. Well time to go do some fabric work, the
boy just went down for his nap. It makes me feel like Jack Keaton in "Mr. Mom".

Mr. Cuy:
I must say I am quite disappointed with the recent news about the
President wanting to gut NASA's budget. Our "leaders" never seem to be at
a loss for Lack of Foresight! You and your compatriots at NASA are one of
the few elements of our government's spending that actually provide
something to lift our nation's spirits and give us some goals to shoot for
that aren't just "What's in it for me?" all the time. We're with you all
the way!

The picture you're thinking about is on this page:
http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/harness.html
How about either a) dipping the 'biner in some liquid rubber so it
doesn't rub on the cables or, and I think I like this better, b)
wrapping the cables with leather such that the 'biner never touches the
cables. Something like the attached diagram.

Pretty slick. Oscar has added a notch for a "V" sight, to improve sighting on
John Deeres, RVs and other hostile machinery.
8031 just doesn't have the real estate for any sort of hockey-puck, like
Oscar's arrangement. The only thing I can think of is maybe his cabanes
are longer than mine are...

Dan,
It seems to me that something like your approach would work. I like your sketch.
