Hi all:

I am also very interested in the gear shocks mentioned on the list the past
couple of days. Does anyone know how these would affect prop clearance
during a "firm" landing? I know the Lancair donuts are stiff, but
compressing them enough to get a prop strike is something I really never
worried about. While I'd like the soft landing these shock absorbers are
likely to provide I'm also concerned that I'd be risking  a bent prop. Am I
needlessly worrying here?

Regards,

Doug
