Landing gear safetu cable

That's right Dave

I learned a long time ago not to argue with Dave. What I posted are veritable facts. Damage to the bulkhead on enough Kitfoxes to prompt guys to take some action. My choice was to go with Hammerhead gear. Welding in a new bulkhead was just not a viable choice. My advice still stands - a bit too long is better than too short. Just go with your best judgement and live with the consequences. By the way, can anyone document broken Bungee damage and $$$$ equalling a broken bulkhead.

The proper length for the cables is so that there is 4-1/2 to 5 inches of travel available at the ends of the landing gear shock cord arms.

Attached is a link to service letter #48 about the landing gear that shows an optional placement of the limit cables.
