Default RE: It's here and Looks GOOD new Hangar 9 Taylorcraft

The build on my Taylorcraft is going smoothly. It's a dramatic looking, solid airplane that's built like a tank once you get all the struts bolted on.

One thing I have noticed is the 'functioning landing gear' suspension doesn't have any function that I can see.

There's a fairly heavy spring on the gear struts but the struts have no spring action at all. They seem to be solid as far as I can tell.

Am I missing something?
