Looking for a source for landing gear shocks for a 1/4 scale Wilga. I have two sets, one was on the airplane and one was marked new on the package it was in, neither will support the weight of the plane. They both will collapse after a short time sitting on the gear Thanks in advance. Stretch

Short of someone actually having a part number, you may end up measuring diamter and length, I'm assuming these are compression springs, not tension and looking under

Thanks for the reply. Thanks to one of my club members I have a solution to my problem. He had done the research on this very same thing and hod a set in his possession. These ae the exact detentions for the OEM shocks but are much stiffer than the OEM shocks. The web site has several sizes on both sides so once we taxi test this set we could go up or down on the spring rate.
Thanks for the help I hope this will help others. Stretch
