Hi! John
I happen to know that Ivor Phillips has all te info. on these, he is building
an XS at Orpington UK and has regularly flown on overseas trips with me,
He should soon be lurking here and may be away for a weekend, so I'm sure
he will soon respond because he is very committeed to using these springs.
Unfortunately I'm away for the weekend also so I haven't his e-mail address
to hand but will call him tomorrow.
Regards
Bob Harrison
