Brief Description:  Upgrade the Bungee Gear

Plans:
1. Upgrade the Bungee gear to a stiffer tension.
Status: Complete. I have noticed that the existing Bungee tension was not supporting the aircraft well. It was stretched significantly under the 800 lb weight of the aircraft. Basically I need more loops of Bungee to carry the load properly and stiffen things up. Several jack configurations were tried. The best approach turned out to be using floor jacks on the bottom rear legs of the gear. The jacks were modified to fit the open hole at the leg's bottom to prevent slippage. It turned out that the jacks were quite stable under the heavy load. I ended up going from 5 loops of 3/8" bungee to 10 loops of 10mm Bungee on each leg.
