9090 CW bungees, anyone have a set?

[ifdale]

I missed out on the group buy-in, guess I'm looking for a set of the 9090 bungees if anyone has extras they would like to sell. I'm in Alaska and fly in the winter. So not sure how important it is for them to be cold weather. I don't fly much below 10 below zero, anyway Reeve's in ANC has a set of the 9090-CW that were manufactured back in 2005.. Think they'd be fine or should I get some newer?

They are only good for about 5-10 years since manufacture, I would pass on the ones from reeves and order a set from the manufacturer, spruce are probably old also...tim

When we did the mass buy Dave told me when he made the ones that spruce wag and forest has and it was a long time ago SBC is the only company in the world that makes them.He does not stock them so if you order they will be fresh and new.

It isn't totally true that they only last 5-10 years. IF they are stored properly in a cool, dry no sun or ozone location they can last a LOOOOONG time. Problem is, when you buy them you really don't have any guarantee where they were stored.

I have a spare refrigerator in my garage for beer. Over in the back corner, behind the horse's carrots is a pair of bungees for my project plane.

I have two bungees unused P/N 1192 blue/red/red. If someone can use them let me know.

Hmmm, did some more talking to the guys at SBC today. They're like well, cold weather bungees won't get as stiff in the cold, so what does that mean for me?? Ha ha. What temperature do they become stiff? Guess that's the question. I fly on skies in the winter usually 10-15 fahreinheit but sometimes -10 to zero..maybe I'll try the regular 9090 ones (in stock at a.e.r.o. in wasilla) and go test them
