Thorp Air Command - T18.net

A spare belt you say ? I will never need a spare belt (never say never) . I saw this set up many years ago at the Chino airport helping remove a set of S-18 wings . I thought it was such a good idea I have used it since. The thought of losing a belt on the road , on a Sunday at an airport (one of those well traveled to airports Lou goes to) and not having anyway to get a replacement , let alone having to remove the prop was not appealing . I do keep a record of when I change the belts and it is just another thing that keeps me from scratching my arse in the dark ! It doesn't show in the pic , but the belt is safety wired out of the way , the tie straps are just to make it a little neater .

Frase and I were just talking about this today. I did this with the JuneBug.... Don't ask.

Something to talk about around the campfire at KVIS .

Nice - with the current baffling, I cannot do what I have see others do pulling it back and anchoring it to "something" on the top side, like the lifting eye. I'll have to see if this will werk today when I go out there.

I have seen the belt stuffed up on the backside of the flywheel
