LS-4 Water bag repair
Thanks for the info guys.
Seems the bags are aftermarket. They are sort of a rubberized ripstop material. I originally thought they were Hypalon but maybe they are another rubberized material- not sure. If anyone has bags that seem similar, please post. Thanks again, Mike At 05:30 07 May 2009, M C wrote: Does anyone know what material was used for the LS-4 water bags? A friend needs to buy some material to repair a couple of small leaks. Thanks Mike |

Not an "admonishment" at all. *
See the last sentence of this reply. One of primary benefits of the Internet is the ability to look up information which may have been posted in the past rather than relying on the (sometimes shaky) memories of the people posting this time around. This sentence states personal opinions and mixes dissimilar points: -A capability of the internet being one's ability to attempt independent research is a fact. -Whether or not this internet capability is a "primary benefit" is personal opinion. -Intimating that someone should perform their own independent research rather than asking a question of a web-based forum is an opinion wholly dissimilar to qualifying the capability of internet technology. -Intimating that someone must perform their own independent research as a prerequisite to asking a question of a web-based forum is an opinion wholly dissimilar to qualifying the capability of internet technology. Regardless, it's a fact that one is wise to consider any information acquired via the internet as suspect, whether obtained first-hand or second-hand . My opinion: In this case the responder, since he knew the answer, should have simply supplied the URL for the benefit of all interested parties, present and future, and 1. Skipped any commentary that could be misconstued as admonishment for asking the question, and 2. Not required an intermediary step of the inquirer to make contact via email in order to receive the answer. Whether or not this commentary is construed as admonishment is open to personal interpretation--after all, you say "Po-tay-to" and I say "Po- tah-to". |

Valcanizing is probably a good idea but I don't know if tire (tyre) repair places have the presses anymore. It's been a long time since I saw one. Andy |

Having a bad day, eh?-
No, but thanks for the concern. But I am tired of people getting slammed on this forum for simply asking a question in earnest (whether it has been asked before or not) and others acting like they're inconvenienced by answering. Either reply without slinging veiled arrows or shut the hell up. |

Although I think one should at least lightly search for what has been
covered here- before posting... I too think it's kinda lame when people get grief (but I appreciate the humorous replies for their legitimate queries here as well... especially since technology, available products, schools of thought, and agreed upon solutions are constantly evolving and changing. I hope I'm not the only one that feels there is merit to revisiting ideas and asking questions that have already been "answered" before... just cause it worked in 1998 or whatever doesn't mean there's not a better solution now, or an even better one on the horizon that has not yet even been discussed at all. -Paul |

Either reply without slinging veiled arrows or shut the hell up. I think it's useful for the regular posters and readers to find an old thread that may have been useful, bundle it with a tinyurl, and share the link. At least that's what I try to do when a topic gets revisited and there's way too much typing involved in restating it. Overall, RAS remains generally civil and helpful, unlike some other aviation news groups, like to keep it that way. Frank Whiteley |
