If you are running on three bungees and are not flying near max all up
weight (not crop spaying) then its worth considering only using two bungees (approved in England). In England we only glider tow with Pawnees. At light weights the shock units mostly never open so all the landing load/bumps are transferred direct to the airframe through the closed shock unit. Its also easier only putting two bungees on.

The UK mod. also reduces the max. permitted all-up weight so reduces
landing fees at some airfields and some regulatory costs.

I believe there is a US STC for reducing the number of bungees.
We have a "D" model, and the maint shop takes care of swapping them out. B "Alan Garside" wrote in message ...
