Thanks Robert...I was considering some sort of spring arrangement as you mention - not on really, as this purely down to a design fault and we as end users should not have to figure and fix these sort of things. I know as modellers we tend to do so, but why oh why should we!
TBH despite it being a "nice" model, there are several other bad design features in this version - nosewheel sits WAY proud of wheel well when retracted, battery location for electric version is completely wrong as tail weight is needed despite siting it as far back as poss. COG positioning is dubious according to several others, the whole thing is too darn heavy, and the battery should live mid wing position, under the canopy which should have been made removable along with the cockpit floor etc. Grr.
