Can anyone recall the diameter of the bungee used to assist gear
retraction on the mono? 3/8 inch maybe?

As I recall there is not much room for it to squeeze through as you go
around the frame. I think 1/2 inch would be too big - I'm pretty sure it
was bigger than 1/4 inch.

Also, what would be a good length to buy?

Hi Martin,
Just measured the old bungee I replaced.
Thickness 7mm = 5/16 just short 3/8. So 3/8”
Length 7m = 30ft
Hope that helps and I am correct.

Cheers,
Tim

Martin,

The parts list that came with our kit shows 10mm x 6 meters for the bungee. We replaced ours a couple years ago with 20 ft of 10mm cord. We got it from Aircraft Spruce.

Martin,Jim is correct. They increased the diameter of the bungee in later Europa aircraft to 10mm. I remember now after 20 years.

Hi Martin
I installed bungee with one more loop compared to what manual shows. As per Nev, I left a tail on the bungee so if I want to tighten in future job will be easier.:
