it was after all only a 150...but this kit helped significantly. Never had shimmy problems on any of the bigger planes I'd owned. I'd flown an occasional airliner or two every year that had something going on but that was more often a wheel bearings or wheel balance issue.

6:11 Just my 2cents and meant as a friendly advise. Kiting your wing, using both index fingers on the brake line above the pulleys, may seem fair play. But when preparing a powered flight it is essential to have the brake handles on the wrists or hands after you have made dead sure that the brake lines have not looped around the webbing that connects the pulley to the rear riser. The thing is, when you bring up the glider, then rotate 180 towards the wind, a loose (as in: not held by hand) brake toggle may hop unseen over the webbing. Enjoy your ppg-adventures! Best, Rob ^^

This ones simple imho. Flimsy frame that couldn't take a power foward. When your frame has a weak hoop, you gotta wait till the wing is 45deg or better above you before adding power. Seems you wasn't centered just perfect, inline with wind etc and the wing came up a little off center also, it just applied more force then the hoop had tolerance for and the prop smack your net.

@Yankee Paramotor you nailed this. My Vac valve failed on my 2000 F350 7.3. Some additional info - This valve is responsible for controlling factory style auto engage 4x4 hubs and the AC vent system. If you have converted the factory hubs to a manual-only style like Mile Marker or Warn lockouts, you do not need this valve to engage your 4x4. When this valve fails, unplug the vacuum connector on the solenoid valve with 2 ports and plug both ports with an appropriate sized bolt. The red vac line is the one responsible for switching the HVAC vents. With this plugged, you will no longer have a vac leak and your AC/Heat vents should now switch.

I feel your frustration! I wonder if the problem didn't start with the snap-on connector that helps hold the cage sections together came loose first and got propelled into the net after striking the prop. Would be interesting to see how much clearance you have if one side of it isn't attached and it rotates back towards the prop. Perhaps that situation with a "normal" amount of cage flex due to the line tension could have caused a prop-connector impact? Just a thought.... A little thicker prop-spacer might be a preventative measure if that was the problem (in addition to making sure the connector is solidly secured of course).

Yes. ultimately found one of the factory installed wires was crimped under one of the thermostat installations (because I'd replaced those trying to find the problem). As things heated up the wire would get squeezed and short out tripping the breaker!!!! POOR Quality Control in post pandemic manufacturing.

Water temps are still cool enough that there's no algae or hydrilla growth... but it is very infrequently that I make the risk acceptance to spend much time flying over the water. Like I told someone else, the stars really had to align for this to work out. Correct wind direction, good enough winds for me to launch from my place and then of course congruity with poor Steve's schedule... because he's still working (flying) for a paycheck. This however may have convinced him to take up PPG.
