Has anyone just used the #50 master link with the spring clip instead of the clevis pins or AN bolts? Not safe? How about using the master links with the double tabs on top of the link for the rudder cable attach points (two cable attaching to one point)? They are only $3.11 each and you only need four?

Classic example of bureaucracy and paradigms.The feds require us to "position report" ourselves flying around in the airlines(domestically), despite to the second tracking available on a multitude of publicallyavailable and viewable systems on the internet. And our planes automaticallytransmit all sorts of data every few minutes, including our position.EVEN when we're in radar contact, which is practically ALWAYS in the US. Internationally, we still have to check in with oceanic control via voice on HF,even when we have established data comms via satellite (a system called CPDLC- controller to pilot data link comms, or something...). Notice it's controllerto pilot... They've FINALLY officially allowed us to use our cell phones to call dispatch...on the ground. Of course, been doing it for years. Some day they'll catch up with technology, even their own!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Alittle something of recent interest
