Would love to see donut pictures. Steel bungee could be adapted with a heavier spring. But you still have stiff rudder and even less damping in rebound. And steel cables break too. Can't wait to see the donuts mod.

<p>I lost my first 801 on its back in a hayfield in Kansas due to a 2 year old, just recently inspected bungee. When it failed my rudder locked. Mine failed under the label, with no external signs of deterioration. Looking at the short length of the embrittled section where it failed and the fact that most of the brittle fibers were concentrated on the side of the label with the most glue, I suspect that someone changed the label glue and it is going after the rubber.

<p>I lost my first 801 on its back in a hayfield in Kansas due to a 2 year old, just recently inspected bungee. When it failed my rudder locked. Mine failed under the label, with no external signs of deterioration. Looking at the short length of the embrittled section where it failed and the fact that most of the brittle fibers were concentrated on the side of the label with the most glue, I suspect that someone changed the label glue and it is going after the rubber. I have a design worked out using a Nissan McPherson strut and a coil over spring as a retrofit. Just need the time to get it done. But if any of you can find details on the rubber donut design please share it. I like simple. I know of companies that make those engineered rubber donuts, so they are easy to get. I also would like to get rid of the stiff rudder problem as well. </p> Thanks for the post on new bu…tag:zenith.aero,2018-08-01:2606393:Comment:6396692018-08-01T12:20:57.079ZChris Hoarehttps://zenith.aero/profile/ChrisHoare
