EC12 material list

[Jack Richardson]

I have just started to build my EC12 using a Ozmun winch. The material list calls for three Pekabe blocks(jib and main mounts) but I have yet to find the third,pls enlighten me. Also I am not familiar with CL connectors, but examining them they dont seem to open. If not why not a simple small ring? Have they other advantages or purposes? Thanks.

Hi Jack,
In the swing arm section of the Building site, the sheetline diagram shows two blocks. That is all that is needed. The CL connectors come from the U-Control old airplane days. The control line connectors have a slide on one side of the racetrack design to open it up for inserting a loop of line. Any connector strong enough to handle about 13 pounds of pressure will work. The CL is not a requirement just a preference here.

Welcome to the class...
