RevGQ i did the mod as you described. Yes it does stop front to back movement but when flying off of grass like i do there is a substantial amount of side to side flex from the gear because of the weight of this plane. I am think of using expanding foam to help stop this after i repair the wing. If you peel the covering off of the wing where the gear mounts you will notice it is not strong enough to support the weight that it needs to. As for the robart gear I thought someone in this thread said they make things worse if you fly off of grass. Does anyone have any more insight on this?
