Can anyone tell me the distance between the outside of the two stops? Anyone that has a Micron should understand what I mean.

I was flying in a 18 - 20 mph wind and pulled out of a *fast* spin just a little too soon. When the nose hit the ground, the spine poked a hole right through the dacron pocket. Admittedly it was bad move on my part, but it might not be a bad idea to sew an extra layer of reinforcement there. Things sometimes happen awfully fast with the Micron .........that's what makes it so damn much fun!!

There is 1/2" of spreader sticking out beyond the stops on each end.. dick = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Wed, 21 Feb 1996 15:26:56 -1000 From: mike_mui@mindlink.bc.ca (mike mui) Message-Id: <4gggp0$710@fountain.mindlink.net> Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada Subject: Re: Micron - Top Spreader In article <279351586wnr@pleasant.demon.co.uk>, Bob Pleasant says: > >I have managed to loose the top spreader to my Micron.

Length between the outer stop is 24 3/8 in. Good luck! ---- mike mui mmui@statpower.com = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
