Bungees too!
I discovered what a huge effect worn bungees can have on ground handling last year.
I was having real problems controlling the swing on take off on my Isaac's Fury. We operate out of a field with a marked camber so she often wants to run off left anyway, but I needed a combination of full right boot, half throttle till tail up and sometimes brake too - things were getting a little hairy!
To cut a long story short, a bungee snapped on landing (a non emergency as there are loads of turns..) One phone call to Light Aero later the new bungees arrived and once fitted totally transformed the ground handling - much, much reduced swing...
Turns out the squidgy old bungees were allowing the gear geometry to change on application of power making it veer off in an alarming manor...
A lesson learned
