Re: Why the low Gear love

I'm predicting a lot of teams are putting too much faith in the little hook on the end of the spring. In our testing with the "official" spring (with team stand), if the gear was placed less than half way on the spring, the pilot would have to pull up rather slowly because the spring can deflect a large enough amount to make the gear want to slip off.
