I have discovered that one of my main retract oleos was accidentally supplied with the wrong spring which was causing it to bottom out easily. It’s worth checking you are happy with...

I would recommend laminating some carbon in the wheel wells to avoid damaging the top of the wing in the event something similar happens.

I think I’d be happier with another litre of fuel but will do a ground run to setup my telemetry more accurately first. The default 600 pump value decreases the fuel value too quickly.
