Well, I'm back in the air with my new Spring Gear on my 601HDS. After I had the left main gear tube plate weld failure, I replaced my landing gear with the Grove Spring gear. I can report that it works great and I see no airspeed changes between the old factory gear and the new spring gear. I had wheel pants on the old gear, and did not reinstall them and I see no airspeed changes.

If interested, you can check out our EAA web site for photos along with a pdf document on how I did the spring gear conversion: http://eaa1211.org/olson.html

Congratulations Jim,
You took a remarkably complex job and made it look easy. Very nice job!
Pleased to hear you're back in the air.
