George,

I agree with you on the routing. So far only grass strips, but the hoses are a future project to reroute.

My double puckers are on the back of the spring BUT my biggest problem is the bleed screw is on the very bottom of the caliber and is always damaged by grass or rocks . Plus corrosion is a issue too. Landing on beaches with salt water is a issue that is hard to address.

You know, most of us have addressed the salt water corrosion issue rather easily. WE DON"T LAND ON BEACHES NEXT TO SALT WATER. :lol:
