Original kit (2009) bungee showing effects of 230 hrs off "off road" operation....and age. Bungee has a service life of 5 yrs and for some builders it expires during the building process. The colour code of the bungee is to identify the date of manufacture. Todays pre-flight inspection revealed a bungee in need of replacement.

I'm saving a "Rotax 912 Oil & Filter 101" course for when you get here.

I should learn how the bungee is inspected and changed. Thanks Bob for sharing the knowledge on spotting the old bungee issues and replacing them.
