Hello all,



Now that I have my Skydrol leak plugged I need to replace the bungees on that side as the Skydrol saturated the existing bungees.



Right now I only need one set (2 bungees) does anyone have any or know of a source?



Thanks.

Tom.



My guy has been replacing them every year at annual, and the charge has been

very minimal.  If you do not get an answer from another member today, tell

me and I will get the name and contact information Monday morning.



Regards,



Moe

I was told that the bungees have to be replaced every six months, does

anyone know what the real deal is?

Tom,

I'm not an A&P (nor Engineer as they're called elsewhere) but every 6 months 

seems a bit excessive.  



Every annual should be good -- especially in a cool climate such as yours.



I do advocate pulling the bungees around a few inches every time you go out 

to fly so you don't end up with "flat spots" on them.

Hi Guys,

I've been following your discussions about the bungees, and thought I'd add

my 2 cents.  Morris Kernick has been replacing my bungees at each annual

inspection.  The cost has been around $20.00 each.  I am not aware of any

requirement that they should be replaced sooner.

Tom;



Mechanic tell me every 24 months, and that is what he does on my 560-E.  He 

does a very good job of staying on top of things and he is both an A&P and 

an AI.

+1 to Randy's statement. Morris does mine at annual too.



Also, thanks Keith, you've reminded me that I've been remiss in my 

pre-flight duties. I probably only spin the bungees about 2x/year, and I 

should do it on every flight. I'll add that to the list.

Thanks for that, an annual cycle seems more reasonable, I do currently pull

them around that is how I noticed the weakness in the Skydrol exposed ones.

Vancouver (West Coast), excuse me, is not a cool climate it is a temperate

climate where the temperature variation is small due to the proximity to the

ocean, and never sees scorching days.

Come park your Commander in Las Vegas this summer and you will agree that 

Vancouver is a cool climate.



And it's a cool place, besides.
