You could use two cables and six pulleys I think. Take one cable and run

forward from one side's slide beyond most forward postion , turn 90 degrees over to the other side, turn aft and back to beyond rearmost position, and then turn 180 degrees back and connect to aft side of other slide. Do the same thing from the opposite side. Get the picture? They do the same thing on automotive lifts, called load equalization cables. Bill Archer -----Original Message-----

Subject: Re: [Q-LIST] Re: sliding BROWNer J'ever notice that Malechek is a little fussy about his sliding canopy, Mr B. ? If someone is not careful and he gets a little racking, the sliders can come off track. To stop the racking one has to somehow connect both sides so they both move simultaneously and equally. I have seen a system of cables and pulleys on a Dragonfly that prevents an unequal distribution of force but I ain't got it figured out yet. The 4 arm canopy that patillo has gets you the air blast but does not lay down close enough to the front deck when open. This may discourage one from having it open during taxi. I dunno. It probably racks a little but may be more stable than the sliders. j. To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: Q-LIST-unsubscribe@...
