Hey Sean - Ron's trying to sell his Lightning (check the classifieds) I'm going to talk to him at Spiderman in Winamac next week.

As far as the new Behotec struts, I had about 27 flights on them and they were doing ok, but seemed a little stiff. I found the brass slider in the C-50 retract tending to bend more over time than with the original "softer" struts & flying off grass doesn't help.

I'm tempted on getting a set of Jet-1A knee struts & try different springs from McMaster-Carr. They have small cot & ultra-precision springs that may work. Sandor/Digitech is supposed to be working on springs for the Lightning, but he's got a lot of other projects going on so its taking a while.
