    Beautiful work Navy. Really enjoy this side thread. I've debated sharing my new house projects on a new thread if there was interest, but haven't to date as there is nothing mechanical going on at my home. Now your plane project is very mechanical and fits right in with a lot of people's interest here! Please keep us updated! Thanks.

    Do the bungee cords act as shock absorbers?

    Bungee cord was the suspension on small aircraft for many decades---------about all there was to carry the weight of the a/c and also work as shock absorber in addition to the small balloon tires.

    Well how about that!
    The common ordinary banal bungee cord has been instrumental in landing aircraft for donkey's years!
    Who would've thought that?

    That's one of the things I like about this site; you learn something new virtually every time you click on.

    Is it my imagination or does the beltline on the door sag below the beltline on the cab in the first pic? If so, it still sags in the after pic with no way to correct it.
