Hop Skip and Jump No More

Have too much spring in your landing gear? Or perhaps the aluminum gear that came with the plane is too soft? There’s a way to take care of that problem. You need a small piece of spring steel, a heavy-duty compression spring, a washer, a blind nut and a cap bolt. Add this extra “leaf”-spring support, and your plane will never again bounce on landing.
