Bungees?

[Pfcraver4]

Did you all end up getting a group buy together? I'd rather pitch in over placing an order with spruce or univair here soon.

[Hank Jarrett]

Who is leading the effort this time? Chuck and I did it last time but Chuck doesn't been have a T any more (he is still a friend of all things Taylorcraft but no longer has his plane). I don't mine giving some guidance to whoever is picking up the wand, but i won't be coordinating this time.

Actually, I'll help and lead if we can get enough people together. Give me a few days and I'll post back here with prices and a plan.

Hey All,

It's looking a bit more expensive that I thought it would. Just got off the phone with David at SBC - we were quoted at $19.57/ea at 50 pieces, plus another 42 for shipping to me... so about $20.41 per shock cord ring. Is this something anyone is interested in? If so I'll set up a link so we can get an order together.

EDIT: 9010HD cords

Pete,

I'm not participating in this buy but I just want to say thank you for taking up the torch. I hope enough owners sign up.

Pre war model B takes a 9090 cord. I'm not sure what the model A takes.

Why the two different cords...Pre and Post War? Is the truss different? Some Pre-War Taylorcrafts like mine have STC SA1-210 that allows a higher gross weight (1280 or 1500 for example). Not arguing just curious. I think one cord is longer (?)

It is my understanding that the truss is different. The 9010's on a pre war will sag prematurely. The cord diameter is the same, so they should support the same weight.

Yes I agree re the sagging....my Pre-War with 9010HDCW sagged in a year. Not bad but noticeable. I'll plan on a replacement with 9090's. Also I've read that Forrest recommended the same cords. Thank you for the help.

Peterroy Thanks- I'm hoping we can get something worked out for everyone interested. I figured this was something easy I could do to help the community.

Pete, Nice work on the form. Wish I could do stuff like that.

I replaced the bungees on my F-19 with 9010HDCW, and I also noticed sagging almost immediately. She's a bit portlier than the average T. Should I be getting 9090s?

Anyone comment on experience with HD vs HDCW?
