A couple of days with zero posts. Maybe I'll try breaking the ice (pun intended) by posting a picture of the Rogue Air Parts outdoor tail hinge factory after a fast, heavy, and very wet snowfall. Everything under the mess seems to still be intact under there, but it may be a while before I can get dug out and get my canopy frame and cover replaced. In previous snows I've just gone out in the morning and bumped the underside of the canopy with the push broom to get the buildup to slide off, but this time it was heavy and sticky and it brought down the house before I could get out there in the morning to unload it. As you can see in the picture, it's a very light tubular structure, this is its second replacement canopy (the UV is very hard on things here), and I had already replaced the uprights with wooden posts set in 5 gal buckets full of rock because the wind kept lifting the thing. No surprise that it couldn't handle 4 or 5 inches of wet snow ;o) I just need an enclosed, permanent shop but our building restrictions won't permit it. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=451489#451489 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/snow_754.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
