Default RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

That looks very nice and clean. Thanks.

I just flew the 54 last Sunday and even going back to full throw on the flaps, I'm getting the Kangaroo bounce and I really think it's due to the springs in the struts. I think I cut too much off when installing them. The last landing I made was ridiculous. It was picture perfect. Speed was slow the plane was two inches off the ground ready to settle nicely and as soon as the mains touched...jumps right back into the air and I get two bounces and then I have to give a shot of throttle cause now she's three feet in the air and ready to stall. Then it lands. It's getting annoying. I didn't have this problem with the wire gear other then they would bend too easy and that's why I went to the struts. My struts are slightly compressed just from the weight of the plane. Anybody else's like this?
