That was a great video Lon. Do they do that with other aircraft as well. I really enjoyed it. Thank-you for bring it to our attention.

Some things in this hobby sell out in less than an hour after stock is in.

Even if 10% of owners bought these struts, that's quite a few. I'm thinking Motion never got more than 100 of these, probably less not knowing how well they'd sell.

Wow they must have exhausted the supply before they got to you. Hate you missed out. Hopefully they have more coming soon. I'm sure they do. Like Viper said there is no telling how many have been sold. It would be great if Motion could at least post how many so far. Think that would be impressive.Dewey l

Originally posted by xviper2 View PostYeah, I don't know how Motion does it, but if they're anything like another seller I deal with, while they wait for stock to come in, people buy these things out and when stock does arrive, once they fulfill all the orders that have been paid for, there's none left to notify anyone about. Sometimes, that's the only way to get something. I hate paying in advance of stock arrival but if I really want it, I'll do it.Bob Duncan

Well...the struts i ordered from Castle showed up. Want to get the ones from MRC too, compare. These are all metal for sure. Decide which plane to try them out on, get them installed.2 PhotosLon

The mains drop in. But it should be noted i'm using the stock wheels. On that note of stock wheels...I have flown with the Du-Bro low bounce, and the Dave Browns. Bottom line is that i've gone back to the stock wheels and like it. The #1 reason is ground handling. Dave Browns are in my opinion for this plane, too soft. The Du-Bro are a little bit better handling on the ground. The weight of this plane i believe is the reason the softer tires cause handling issues, specially on landings. NOTE: Most all my flying is from hard surface and...well..I'm pretty consistant on smooth and soft touchdowns with this 38.
The nose strut will NOT just drop in. In a earlier post by xviper2 he states it well " The cir-clip that they provide with the shaft that goes into the retract is so big that it won't nest between the 2 forks of the strut holder" Go to xviper's post on page 107 to read what he did.
Now i hope late today before the sun goes down, to go fly and see how they do(with stock nose strut)Lon

UPDATE: Got two flights in tonight before the sunset. I could tell the difference with the new struts on the mains. Yes, i greased both landings. But could tell by the sound of touchdown, that those shocks were doing their job!!Lon

Me 2. In see these have the scissor struts on the mains only. The ones from Motion have the scissor strut on the nose only.
