Bungee or spring gear
Posted: Sat Feb 18, 2012 9:05 am
While I fly amphib now, I did have the bungee gear when on
wheels, and made my own rings as has been described on the list.
But if I was buying now, I would get the spring gear without
hesitation. They might be 20 pounds more than the bungee, but
should be less drag for higher speed cruise, and I think now with
all the mods, are strong enough for rough field usage and the
occasional not so perfect landing. And if you get the gun drilled
ones, you don't have any brake lines to hang in the breeze.
