Hey Fred=2C thanks. No negatives yet and provides a warm and fuzzy feeling
on short final that all is well. I also replaced the
original nylon legs with MDS filled nylon legs purchased from McMaster. I
am experimenting with 1/4" longer legs to reduce the
rocking even more. Now there is no wing rocking at all until the TW is lif
ted and then its only there for a couple seconds before
rotation. Much improved on landing as well as soon as the main is down=2C
the OR wheels are down as well preventing any side
loading or weight transfer from getting started. This does add a slight pr
eload to the legs but they become HIGHLY loaded if
any side to side weight transfer starts up with the standard length legs.
I really like it so far and can taxi up to 45 mph with
no rocking whatsoever but YMMV.
