Piet'ers,I am building my landing gear like the 2nd to last original Piet, the one atPioneer field OSH. Am currently working on the compression spring shock,think I have it figured out. There is a good illustration in the firstBingelis page 255. It appears to show the hole for pin located mid way upthe slot for pin and sliding collar when the spring is at rest.To me it seems the hole should be located at the top of the slot when thespring is at rest so there would be no slop in the suspension, also then thespring could 'work' the full length of the slot. Bingelis may have drawn itthis way so it would be easier to understand.Anyway some of you guys must have experience with this type of LG or evenbuilt one, please let me know if I am thinking on the right track or out inleft field.Skip, looking forward to Brodhead. ________________________________________________________________________________
