ORIGINAL: sc0tt

Behotec makes the stock Lightning retracts & struts, Intairco only makes the heavy main wheels & brakes for it.

Good news about the Lightning Pro-Lynx struts, but 2 quick questions...

What is the length from the top of the main strut to the axle center? (stock Behotec ~168mm)

Are these a straight design like the Jet 1A Elan struts?

I will pre-order if they are as long & straight like the stock Behotec ones.

Thanks for any info...Scott

i know exactly who makes what
even intairco uses jet-1a parts for some of his models he sells[)]
no but we owned and own and have lighting wings here to test it.
our last victim (lightning) got entangled in a wire fence , the wings are fine and where a perfect donor for our try outs.
we will videotape maybe a stress test.

length is exactly the same as the behotec struts , it was a real challenge since these are very long oleo,s.
there is no Straight design only almost strait design , if it was strait it could happen the oleo could lock with a hard landing.

if you pre-order ,dont worry we have a good warranty , if you are not happy send them back..
i made them so they would fit the lighting , it would be a waste of investment to make something that does not work.
you can always email us for more info
