Bob, I've got the "go-ahead" from the wife to get a Hangar-9 Cub gear. But before I do, Look at these pics and tell me what you think. The springs have quite a bit of tension restraint and along with a couple of the O-rings, there seems to be enough "stiff" to hold quite snug in place. I can't figure out how come yours have broken at the welds so much. Could it be maybe, less than smooth landings with a lot of bouncing ? [ tactful courtesy intended ] Mine will not flex out unless there is real pressure to do so. My point, am I wasting money or would it be advantagous to buy the H-9 before they are out of stock ? MM
