Default RE: Baby Edge replacement?

Steve,

I just finished off a 1/4 scale Sig CAP 231EX with a new OS 1.60. The plane weighed about 11lbs. and had more than enough power, so this WH should too.

Anyway, I used the stock landing gear and it was very stiff. The plane would bounce around all over the place while the gear never flexed. That's not so good. A bit of flex is helpful. Mine was bad enough that when taxiing even with full up elevator, when you hit those bumps, you were afraid that there would be a nose over or that a wing tip would bash the ground. I'm certain those bounces didn't help the airframe either.

Now if there were a CAP 232 in this size from WH, my OS 1.60 would have a new home right away. Love the CAP and how it flys. Too many Extras and Edges out there already. I"ve got the H9 33% 232 on order. But the OS could use a new home.
