KR> LANDING GEAR LEGS - Pontiac Leaf Springs

Hi Bill. I took a pair of the springs and tested them for flex. They would have been a bit soft, but quite doable with some additional wrapping. I wrote of the efforts some years ago, along with concerns for converting the springs to gear legs. You'll have to search the archives. Peter

KR> dual stick assembly

I haven't read all the posts about the dual stick assembly so this may have been mentioned... Have you thought about installing a single, center stick and putting a 'T' or 'Y' on top? The Zeniths have this and apparently there is almost no time required to adapt to it. A thought. PJ
