Spice Cat Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I recently purchased a 5' wingspan Chipmunk at Wings and Wheels and a lovely thing it is too. Apart from the Lazer engine it has sprung oleos with a stablilising strut that runs to the rear and connects to the aileron servo covers. I had a very pleasant maiden flight with her and then an awful landing on the secnd flight resulting in the struts being damaged. Sorry I haven't included photos but as a general question; are these struts necessary?? Your thoughts please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spice Cat Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Pretty sure it is. The oleos are after market jobs not original fit as far as I can tell. I would have put a photo in but I'm at work. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
