hello Kitfoxers
has any one had,or has heard of, the tube on the suspension(the one that the bungees wrap around) snapping .Unfortunatly for me I had an engine failure (582) at about 100ft after take off.The landing was in a snow covered planted field (soft) and was going well( I thought ) untill the port under carrage colapsed.The aforsaid tube snapped right next to the bungee.There is no sign of rust,and it is a fairly clean break.I would have thought the bungee would have given up first,any comments on this issue would be welcome.
