    Subject: ch601 HDS BUNGEE HELP !!!
    Howdy all; I am confused on the installation of the main gear bungee, and I was hoping you guys could help. I purchased an older 601 HDS and installed a new engine (Great Plains VW with water cooled heads) Well the bungee gear was old and sagging, so I ordered new bungee. I replaced the nose bungee, but just stopped and scratched my head on the main gear bungee. How do I get to it? It's all bolted up in the metal gear box and I don't see how I could get to the bolt heads to remove the gear box. Am I missing something? Please email me back if you know the secret to changing main gear bungee cords on a 601 HDS. Thanks !!! Roger Hill 601SM

    Hi Roger, I've a gear page for the 601HDS that probably will help you with disassembly and replacement of the main gear bungees. I'd do just one side at at time. The principal issue is placing a jack-stand at splice plates. Remove the main wheel, disconnect brake lines and then unbolt front and rear gearbox bolts. Remove the top gear cap and bolts on top the wing. Then slide the whole gear with box and bungee from the angles. Remove tie-ties and the bungees.

    Subject: ELT placement question USA FAR
    We are getting ready to install our ELT. We have made an extra access panel just in front of the aft bulkhead, on the floor of our HDS. It is big enough to mount the ELT on the inside of the access port. If we do this, when we unscrew the port cover, the ELT will come off with the port cover. Here is the question. In the United States, will this violate any FAR mounting instructions. If so, can some one tell me which FAR would be violated? Thanks phill hartig
