I haven't looked for a long time but exactly what you describe used to be available for hang glider flying wiresskidaddy20000 wrote:Great topic.
Now brace yourselves for topic creep.
Seems there is some plastic expertise on this thread....
so maybe someone could answer a question
I've wondered about for a long time.
Why has no one made and sold a plastic extrusion, airfoil shaped,
that could slip over the bracing wires on floats?
I'm visualizing something like those booklet binders that
squeeze the left hand side of the pages to hold them together,
but airfoil shaped. Light and cheap. And aerodynamic.
Surely there'd be a reasonable market in the u/l and
homebuilder markets, w/o the hassle of STC certification.
Sorry for the thread topic creep.
