Hello,
I've got to replace the bungees of our A-1, 1991, because they got weaker.
I've helped my elder friend to do this job long time ago. Also I watched the tutorial video from Aviat site. So basically I understand what to do.
What I don't understand (and I don't remember) is if it's really necessary to lift (or at least support) a wing while I replace bungees at the same side of the lifted wing.
I'm going to cut three bungees from only one side and replace these three first. Since there is a safety wire in each side to prevent from collapsing the undercarriage, I don't think lifting a wing is really necessary. Am I wrong?
By the way, there is no lifting rings installed with this husky. So it's not possible to hoist the whole aircraft.
Any advise form experts like you guys will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
