Tommy Walker --



When it got to the point of attaching the gear I dug into my "pack rat collection" and came up with a piece of conveyor belt.  This particular piece came from an open-pit lignite mine. About 5/8 inch thick, tuff stuff.  Haven't flown it yet, but figured if it would handle hundreds of tons of coal a minute then surely it might stand the strain of a 701.

Another source of belting is your local ready-mix concrete plant.  When a belt craps out there it is normally left under the framework until the fellow in charge decides to have a house cleaning.

Shouldn't mind if you hauled off several feet of it.  Take a hacksaw.

Also, sawmills, quarries, other heavy duty operations use belts.....look around.



Regards,



Zed
