RE: Easy Repair #17
There is an error I made on this blog where I show the cable swaging process using two swages per connection. This is not necessary according to Nicopress and originates from their technical suggestions where you can use a second swage if you are concerned about your ability to make a good swage. If you do they suggest a MUCH smaller gap between each sleeve than what I show in that photo. My practice from here on will be to make sure my tool is set right and that I check each swage and go with a single swage on all the connections vs UFM plans that had you double swaging all the connections. I've monitored all my connections after each of my crashes (yes, I've had more) and have yet to see ANY slippage in any single swaged joint. When I re-rigged my trainer, I did it with single swages throughout.

Bob K., could you update Easy Repair #17? I found an important error and fixed it in Blogger. It involves deleting a photo of the cable being swaged wrong. I deleted this on my Blogger site easyriser1.blogspot.com

Hi John!!!

It's great to hear from you. Unfortunately, I just finished preparing for my court hearing tomorrow, so I can't get to it tonight, but I should be able to update it tomorrow.

Thanks again for keeping us posted!!!

Hi again John,

I called earlier and left a message asking for clarification on the change request. I think I've figured it out, and I've added some moderator's notes to clarify the updated recommendation.

It's great to see you continuing on with the project!!

flymore John, you might see if the answer is in this dedicated thread. Or contact another member who is also of same first name: John jcoyier

I have some questions regarding the Easy Riser hang glider, and/or ultralight. Does anyone know what the original material composition is for the aluminium ribs on the Riser? All I know is that they are .020" thick, and soft, or unheated treated. Second is, information or plans for the original foam ribs. I would surely be grateful if I can get answers to these. And any other information on the EZ Riser build. I had it all in the past and lost everything! Thanks a bunch! John
