Not for necessity nor looks but that a good suspension always helps unload the landing forces much more so than those stiff legged struts.

Thanks to all who set me straight on the upgraded struts for the TC. Makes perfect sense. I fly off of a somewhat rough grass field, and after reading all the reports of they aren't necessary, was curios as to why he decided to upgrade. I will place my order for the struts this evening and have them installed before maiden.If this Cat is half as much fun as the P-38, I'm sure I'll take it to the field every trip. Again, thanks all!

[Grossman56]

H, I think THAT would get me into even greater trouble!!!;)
Just got the F-16 manual finished and posted. These rewrites keep me out of trouble as well!!!

Dave, it's more of a 'just cuz" I've got a lot of flights on her now and she lands and takes off beautifully with the stock system. The modder in me is constantly looking for something more. When I have a great plane, I just want to make it even greater. That's why most of my planes have upgraded motors or whatever.
The dummy radials have been doctored up, and are coming out for some more detailing, keeps me out of trouble;)

Gman...........want a really great modding idea that will keep ya out of trouble;)
Get a larger hangar into that rolling bunkhouse :P:Silly:LOL

Proper spring loading will have the springs slightly to 1/4 of travel range compress the strut under just the weight of the aircraft (ready to fly with batteries or full fuel load) sitting in place.
Too stiff and they might as well be solid. Too weak of a spring and it will hit the bottom stop too easily and that will almost be as bad as a solid strut too.

May I ask, Why the upgrade for the Tigercat landing gear? Looks? Necessity?

Got Christmas lights hung and then was bored, so I remembered that I wanted to paint the white portions of the Avanti with white latex to cover up the foam cells and generally brighten it up. So far it looks pretty good, sure shows the nose damage, can't wait for them to come back in stock!
In the meantime, order front gear doors for her and an upgrade set of landing gear for the Tigercat, guys got to have something to do to while away the Winter months.........

Yeah, those folding wings and retractable gear are really something, I was just not wild about the panel lones, but hey, a project!

Looks great Bill, Spec, I love the 'cat line up what make is the Wildcat again?

Grossman56

It’s by LX from Bananahobby. It’s not the best quality but I didn’t have a choice since nobody else makes one, especially with the folding wings

My Grumman Cat fleet at our local clubs airshow recently. Custom painted Hellcat and Wildcat. I'll probably end up repainting the Tigercat, just not sure what livery I want to go with. They were all mostly Blue.

[Kloverzero]

very nice I'm going out to get some paint and give it a try
