Gomer, thank you for this input verifying the correct action when not using the lift-off option.

I always waited a few seconds after landing before retarding the throttle, ..
This is exactly the correct procedure in the Ecureuil in order to be prepared for the potential onset of GR - especially on level and hard surfaces where forces are communicated more effectively from the ground to the disk.

It would appear that those springy leaf things need to be very precisely fitted for them to work properly.
Ciao Phil! Definately and a lot of the time they become 'flat' and need to be re-aligned in order to restore their 'springiness'!

ps: I was going to drop you a PM after Christmas - I was exposed to non-stop Abba and Boney-M during the festive season the former bringing back memories of John Broome. Boy he was keen on that group. Did you also have to suffer the tape deck in the Towers LongRanger playing 'Dancing Queen' hour after hour, lol! Them' were the days!
