    Looking for shock ring specs and design rules

    Hi, Shock cord rings are available, light weight, and come in some impressive sizes. Primarily used with early Pipers, they are fairly affordable. Aircraft Spruce catalog lists a "Test" lbs with nothing else. There are 15 sizes so I ordered a 3/4 x 8 and 5/8 x 8 tested at 950 and 900 lbs and...

    Rebuilding N19WT

    Hi, In October, I bought a Viking Dragonfly, N19WT, built in 1987 with a 1983 built, 1835cc HAPI VW engine: The plane plane is in good shape having been hangared since it last flew in 1992, 25 years ago. Since then, there have been a few technical improvements. My plan is to replace the 25...
