Hi everyone,  

I have a Twinstar MK II and I am wondering if anyone has ever tried adapting fiberglass gear legs to this.  

I have only put about 15 hours on it so far and I noticed that one of the gear legs is starting to bend already.  

I fly from a bumpy strip on a farm that is not mine and the owner doesn't want me to do much to smooth it out so I have to use it the way it is.  

I also own a CGS Hawk Classic with fiberglass landing gear that has no problem flying from this field.  

thanks for any responses,  

Lee..

When I owned a Titan Tornado I operated from a paved but very poor condition runway with pot holes and regularly landed on any grass airfield in the area. It had fiberglass gear legs and it handled the rough stuff with no problem at all.
