GonTec, I'd have spelt it with a 'F'.

Well done on the Pass, Bob. Great stuff.

I had a hairy experience in 'Whiskey Kilo' yesterday. The left Oleo strut sticks 'long' after take off. So when you land the weight of the aircraft on it, pushes it back into position making it 'drop' feeling like a flat tyre. I had to abort the touch and go and after being sent to the Golf hold I got out to see the damage. Of course there was nothing to see!

So, I went out again for another circuit for the same to happen on the next landing. I asked for a full stop and went into the Club to report a problem to be told it was, "Always happening". Wish someone had told me....
