 |
|
The online shop for the British Gliding Association sells seat sized pieces of both densities of foam. The BGA strongly recommend impact absorbing foam, which to my knowledge has saved many backs. BGA site is www.gliding.co.uk
On reed switches, I had a wiring system designed for Tim Houlahan by Robin Morton. This employs micro switches but I scratched my head raw trying to get the down latch to strike a switch. My other requirement was to hide the switches in the tunnel. The solution that worked has a reed switch supported in paxolene shaped within the tunnel, with several disc magnets within a hole at the lower most point the latch falls.
Having really struggled to repair a broken cable, I have built the whole set of switches onto a module that mounts on the screws used to mount the aluminium undercarriage gate. Since I have Motorglider wings this is enlarged to accommodate the airbrake lever.
I will try to attach photos when I work out how.
