I wish the new landing gear was available when I ordered my kit. I think a longer spring would help stop the spring ciol binding and help take up the heavey landing, especially if going for longer legs. For me I think 3" to 4" longer legs would be perfect.
Watching the slow motion in the previous video it did not look like the die springs compressed very much. Maybe the die springs are a bit too strong? A black stripe on the rod and a ruler taped to the die spring casing would allow you to see exactly what the movement is.
Nice job on the landing gear design. I like the controlled failure mode. Bravo!

This is the strategy we are following.
At least 3 inches more.
Thanks for the input.
