    Shock mount for our landing gear

    ​ ​​​​​Motion RC be the first to offer shock pads for our planes. I use them on my skateboard and they work great. I haven't had any trouble with bounces on My 80mm A-10 as I've been landing without flaps. I'm sure shock pads would help tremendously. I'm available for test flying.

      Kind of a ambiguous suggestion :Confused:
      Are the 4 missing pics supposed to help clarify?
      How is it used on the skateboard and how does that correlate to an airframe?
      How does no landing bounces with no flaps on the A-10 play into this?

          Just install a shock pad between the retract unit and the airframe and it'll help dampen the initial shock of landing and the springiness of the strut. Landing without flaps will allow you to land with a higher pitch angle.
