One of our members put up his own money to buy the spring mod for the RAA Chapter 85 Cruzer. Him and I installed it. I understand the concept and the benefits, but I found the unit quite finicky, and was really not convinced it was just not another way to skin a cat. I came away thinking the idea was good, but there had to be a more eloquent solution. The biggest plus I can see is not having to get at the bungee after the engine is in, but then that bungie jack someone designed seemed like a solution to that. Neither plane is flying yet, so doing a comparison will be fun. Thanks for taking a look at my photos and commenting, it is always nice to know there is someone out there.
