jbarnes, What are you going to use for new struts to keep from the same thing happening again. I sure do not want to lose my plane after all this work we put in them. I'm going to put a OS120 in the front end. Do you think I will have to do much modification to the front of it? Thank you for your comments hopefully I'm doing it right. Look forward to chat again. I will be posting more pictures as I go. Thank you Flying DJ
