Hello everyone:
                       On my recent trip to Osh I ran into Tim Ong.He
works with a company callled Leading Edge Aircraft Design. I purchased a
set of his gas struts for my 360.(1195.00)I must admit that his claims
are true.If you are interested in much improved landings .You would not
be dissappointed in these shocks.The first thing you will notice is that
you no longer will be logging 3-4 landings in one landing attempt.No
more skipping along until you slow completly.I felt alot more in
control.In addition I tested it lightly loaded and at gross.At gross was
where I got the most dramatic improvement.My airplane felt like a
trailing link 421 on landing and role out.WOW.These things really work.
             Another item I was lusting after at OSH was my new Skyforce
moving map.I have it mounted now and tested it in my 360.Another WOW.I
am very happy with how this thing fuctions.Really neat stuff.One last
thing.I did also give close examination to the new Legacy.In short.I
will own and build one .If Lancair applies what it knows and has learned
about kit building of the 1V and fast build ES they will have a smash
hit on there hands.
