Fellow Europaphiles,

I am quite envious of all you tri-gear folks who are replacing your  
bungee with real springs.  Has anyone out there considered replacing  
the bungee on the monowheel with real springs?  Would the same nose- 
wheel springs work for the mono?  We are talking 18 inches (45.75 cm)  
extended and 17 inches (43 cm) retracted.

Good building and great flying,
Bob Borger
