Hanger 9 Super Cub Strut problems
The left wing strut attach plate that attaches to the landing gear broke in flight. The plate broke at the bend allowing the strut to hang down below the gear. On touchdown it caught the ground.broke one side of the strut and caused wing rib damage(no covering damage at all-amazing) and broke the glue joints on the strut plates in the wing. I have since attached 2/56 pushrods to the gear and inserted brass tubing into the strut. I slide the strut down over the pushrod then attach under the wing and the strut can then move as the landing gear flexes. If anyone has had similar problems or a better fix please let me know.
Thanks
Thanks
