[rebel-builders] die spring gear wraps

Post by Ken » Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:32 pm

What!!
You never watched Red Green ???

duck tape forever ;)

Keeps the dirt out and it is all I've ever used
A nice fairing would be less drag but I've never got that far.

One of my many winter projects will be to lash up something to lift the
plane for mounting floats. I have about 14' of clearance but no beams
that I can lift from.

done for covering these? What kind of tape would work?

I swapped back to wheels from the amphibs yesterday - have it down to
about 2hrs 20 minutes. No longer a big deal at all.

Thanks Ken. Red Green it is. : )

I have a full span steel beam across the top and a pair of chain hoists
on it. I had to go to two hoists because of head room. Having a spreader
used a few inches too much and made it a miserable and time consuming job.
