How did you go with squeezing the crimps, keeping tension on the bungee etc?

 

Short version ... cable ties :p

I secured the pivot arm with one , & the end of the bungee with another , then pulled it tight & cable tied it off .

I had already crimped one half so was ok to finish when secured .

Another pair of hands would help greatly doing the remaining three bungees!

Hmm , a private strip in Harvey you say ;p

Welcome Anthony !

I've replace one on my Edge X 582.  From Airborne, advised that zip ties are ok.  This is what I did then covered the join in heat shrink.

 

I spoke to the friendly team at Airborne & they said either cable ties or crimps were fine .

Since I was ordering some parts anyway I got the crimps :-)

It took a while to work out how to lace the bungy , but I have it sorted now .

The previous repair had used two hose clamps ! Seemed to work well though ... but I will stick with approved methods

Cheers

To replace or not to replace , that is the question .

I have an Airborne Edge Outback 582 & although the hours are low , and it's been stored in a hangar , It has sat for years.

It doesn't seem to me that the shock cord is as tight as those who share the hangar ... so

Just replace & be done with it, or retighten & reattach ?

Crimps or cable ties ?

Any suggestions , tips or tricks greatly appreciated .

Cheers

Seems to have several references to Suzuki Conversions , & at least one for the G10T

The lack of alternate for Perth may be the best argument for the expansion of Busselton to International standards .

Is the Blue & Yellow one a Quicksilver GT500?

I have the Plans, & look at it continuously, but haven't ever committed to building one ...

Is it a Ryan PT22 . The same model Harrison Ford "Parked" on the golf course?

Welcome Jack . There are plenty of aviation lovers here ... and a few Bali lovers too !

Fingers crossed for the pilot .

Hey! I found a video with one of these lovely ladies "doin' tha good thung"

 

Whilst trolling images to try and find the ercoupe-esque beast above I stumbled up this page Pinup & Warbird Shoot 2011 - FredKopf and became distracted ... VERY distracted :-)

Interesting thread . Every time I get really bored I consider something like this Affordaplane Aircraft Light Sport Aircraft as a project for when it's too windy to fly microlights ;p

Hey Crayonbox . The latest video is a cracker . Very informative. Keep it up .

Cheers Troy Rep.

Welcome fellow Microlight jockey :-)

Great Clip ... and soundtrack .

Maybe Bono could alter the lyrics for ya , "Where the Strips have no name " :-)

Not exactly a "Funny Pic" but ... Buy that Catapult Officer a Beer!

Starr Bumble Bee II ? Once the worlds smallest plane pehaps...

Very nice 83

A truly lovely DH83 that was apparently a "Flying Doctor" in OZ in 1935!
