Guys,Something to be aware of regarding the axle safety cable. If your bungees ever give out, the axle has some room to build up some speed before it hits the cable. This really puts a strain on the nicopress and I read in an old newsletter about a guy who lost his bungees and the nicopress gave way and his axle came through the bottom of the fuselage.So, I'd reall think about securing those cables well, maybe two nicos.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2006 08:04:27 -0500 (GMT-05:00)
