4*40 replacement landing gear
Hi All
Have any of you 4*40 flyers changed the main gear..Mine seems to bounce some landings? Any thoughts or suggestion are welcome.
Thanks Dan[/font][/font]

RE: 4*40 replacement landing gear
I also experienced what I considered excessive bouncing when landing the 4*. Plus the gear got closer and closer to the ground and I had to change to a smaller diameter prop with a greater pitch. Finally I did change the gear to something stiffer that I had hanging around from a plane I had rekitted (the gear was about the only thing salvageable). Oh well, that's the hobby! I haven't flown it yet with the new gear but I do expect better landings.
