Wayne,

I have a hanger 9 P-51 that is all set up, but that I have not flown it yet. I have been reading about all of the problems with the stock gear. I am half tempted to put Robart pneumatic gear it right off the bat. Your post had got me wondering if I shouldn't do the mod you did, and then replace the stock strut with 3/16" music wire that guys have been doing on the Mustang threads.

What are your thoughts? Do you think the two modifications combined would make for stable and reliable landing gear? I would hate to belly land this plane with what I have into it.
