Default RE: Weed Eater

Two thumbs up for the Spaceclam's recommendation of the double strut nosegear – more commonly known as Fults strut.

Just last Sunday I had an accident with my HobbiStar [] – regular nosegear strut snapped on landing. Not just snapped – at the bend point it split!!! [&o] Everybody on the field came to see it. Nobody, even our veterans, saw anything like this before (I might post picture of this thing later).

Lucky me the strut was only damage. So I ran to a hobby shop and without second thought got myself a set of Fults. Little bit more expensive, but to me it a must have, especially for the trainer.

Have a good flying!
