This is a great thread. But can someone clarify for me the difference between the Seagull struts and the Robart struts?
The Robarts are spring loaded but not hydraulically damped while the Seagull struts have no springs at all or am I wrong about this?
I'm still thinking about buying one of those Hobby King Gee Bee R2s.
Hello,
the robart struts are high quality, pricy and especially designed for the Great Planes Gee Bee R2.
For the Hobby King version you would have to modify the wing attachments.
The Seagull struts are "cheap", qualitiy is quite ok, much play etc.
But, the Seagull struts are a "drop in" replacement, and thats it!
Here on the photo you can see on the left the Seagull strut and on the right the HK wire sh%& :
BOTHversions (Seagull /Robart) are spring loaded and no hydraulic damping, what would be the most effective improvement!
I thought also to add a rc-car damper.
