Default RE: LT-40 main gear question

Yes, the mains are a little soft. After a couple of hard bounces, they will be bent upwards and your plane will develop a bit of a tail down attitude sitting on the ground. All you have you to bend them back. It's a bit of a pain, but consider this... when they are bending like that, they are absorbing some of the impact from the landing...impact that, if the gear was more rigid, would be transferred to the structure of the airplane.
