For Hal Woodruff
Hal:
I sure think that you have the answer to my gear door problem. I was toying with idea of using 3/8 tubing. You boggle my mind with 3/4's. Great photo.
I'm surprised that your slider is so short. My original 1/8th inch sliders were 30 inches long.. I was thinking of using the entire 36 inch long piece of 1/4 inch HDPE that I just received from Lancair?
Would you consider that overkill?
Also, can you give me the approximate height of both your sliders? The short one and the long one?
Another question; Do you think that there is enough room to incorporate a 90 degree bend in the tubing and run the tubing across the thick section of the door? I like the idea of having a torque arm. I really cant bend 3/4 inch tubing but I can bend the 3/8ths. Do you think that the torque arm would be worth the trouble?
Thanks for the help. Bill Hogarty
