Prevention

[folthoff]

We all know how important safety is, so here is a little trick that could save you an engine out or even worse. The 2 cycle oil bottle and coolant reservoirs (if equipt) can be safety wired to the chassis. You can drill small hole at the lower edge of the overhead angle brace (or where ever you desire) on the chassis left and right. Each bottle has a safety fastener tab eyelet on the top. (gee, I wonder why?) I read about two instances where the tie strap broke and the bottle was sucked into the prop. These tie straps are subject to ultra violet rays and vibration and could dry out and break. Also make sure you use tie straps that have a metal locking tab and not a plastic one.
Fly safe,
