Hi Richard
Had the same problem last year on my classic #109. If you remove the
exhaust and the metal firewall it is easy enough to get at. The whole
job
to replace with new bungee took only an afternoon.
Regards
Pete

Subject: Europa-List: Re-tensioning undercarriage bungees, monowheel.
Greetings to all from Kenya.
Kenya Europa classic monowheel 5Y-LRY has been flying 10 years now (550
hours), and the retract bungee is getting tired. After takeoff and
climbout
at 70 knots the pressure on the flaps helps the retract process, but the
retract lever needs a good shove into the forward recess. It would seem
that changing the bungee is really quite a nightmare, and perhaps I can
stave this off for a year or two by retensioning them (I have never done
this before). Has anyone tried this? How much life can I expect on
retensioning?
All the best
Richard
Classic 168
