Float mount rigging caution - wrong turnbuckles
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 6:23 pm
Before you get to the point that you are ready to mount your floats.....
please check your kits. Murphy shipped -22S forks and eyes with the -32
barrels and marked the bag AN130-32S turnbuckles for the kit I'm installing
here. -22's only have 2200 lb rating.. -32's have a 3200 and also the eye
ends aren't big enough for 5/32 thimbles! Better to find you have the right
or wrong ones now and can make arrangements before you have the airplane
hanging and can't finish the job. Luckily I have 6 sets of the proper sixe
on hand in my "just in case" stock !! ;O)
