Shock absorbing LG
I have made some very effective shock absorbing landing gear using R/C car shocks. I have used them on a TigerKitten and on a 9.3 pound Astro Hog. I now have no bounce landings. Not exactly scale but nice looking and these work! I submitted this idea and it appears in the May 2003 issue of Model Airplane News in their "Tips & Tricks"
In this photo the front LG wire(On the left) pivots in the LG block in the wing. The wire on the top of the shock is fixed in it's LG block in the wing.
