I am refurbishing some slightly bent bits in my U/C ( bent after an 

encounter with an unseen dip, while landing in an unprepared farmer's field) 

and find that the 2 shock absorbers/dampers are pretty much shot. They are 

10+ years/800+ hrs old so may simply be suffering from old age (like the 

pilot!) In looking through the build manual I see that these are described 

as optional. Does anyone have an educated view of the benefits of fitting 

them or not ( you can assume that I shall not be landing in too many 

unprepared fields!)

Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Hi David,



I also found that my dampers were not in good shape after 800 hours. I was tempted to try without them but decided against it as it seems  they also serve as a guide to maintain the rubber block in position.

Remi, Thanks for that. I have been persuaded that it is worth having them 

and have been offered a pair by 2 people who converted from mono to trike. 

If you are looking for a cheap set Bob Harrison would no doubt be pleased to 

give you his for  very little. Regards, David
