Hey Kirk, looks like Bob already got the answer, I always tell guys to make sure when they're about to touch down, never have the nose wheel hit first, if you do, you're going for a ride.

I flew the Jet A1 KingCat main struts with a customer, and lets just say we "thoroughly tested" them! I about dropped the TX when I went over to inspect the damage - not even a flex plate was cracked! The plane had almost cart-wheeled! It was pretty amazing, and Todd @ Dreamworks has them in imperial sizing (Prolinks). I'd get em for the BC's, KC's and Bandit ARF's. Sooner or later they'll pay for themselves! Just keep some spare springs in your box.
