<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Tom is correct, It can be done pretty easy following the his suggestions. I have changed the bungees 3 times on my Model II and each time I did it alone. Make sure the gear legs are tight against the bottom of the fuselage and getter done. Its that simple.

I've put new bungees on my Avids and I didn't try to do it alone. My hat is off to anyone that can do it by themself. Steve winder from Avid/Airdale recomended deviding up the total length of the bungee by the number of wraps you need and makeing marks with a magic marker on the bungee where each wrap would be if the tension was the same on all wraps. I'll try to say that a different way. Just suppose the bungee was 90" long and you need 6 wraps. Devide 90" by 6 and you get 15". Make a mark every 15" on the bungee. Hook the bungee, wrap it around and pull it untill the mark is on the top of the carrythrough. Hold it and wrap it again and again bring it up to the mark. Continue on till all 6 wraps are on and hook the other end on the other hook. All of the marks you made should now be on top. Now you have equal tension on all the wraps. I used a ratchet strap to hold the gear togeather when I took off the old bungee, if you are the guy on the ground, you can lay your head or neck on the strap with no problem. Hopefully I said this clear enough. Jim Chuk Avid MK IV

I remember some guys securing each wrap with a zip tie while getting the next loop pulled through.
