Dear Mr Goguen and Dr Durey,
Thank you for your email. I will consider the matter thouroughly.
Dear Doctor, I regret to inform you that since my husband read your email, he is now in great pain after falling off his chair, laughing like an idiot. He sends his regards and says that the pain was worth the good laugh.
Cordially,
Mrs Britt Verheughe

I have a Model IV with 5 wraps instead of 6 and it works fine.

That it works fine is the most important. I was also wondering if my bungees have always been 6 turns, or 5 turns, then changed to 6. I didn't built the plane, I bought it second hand, ten years after it was built. But I have the builder's log book and he wrote there that the bungees had to be 140 cm (55") long. When I intended to change them, I made some new ones exactly that size. But when I removed the existing one, I found out that they were longer. My explanation was that they had stretched, or lost elasticity. Unfortunately the new bungees were way too soft and couldn't be used. But I have an idea that, in that ten years period, the original bungees may have sagged a bit and the previous owner has take an extra turn.
Cheers,
Michel
