F|A-18C Hornet - Freewing 90mm - Limit Links & Flights

F|A-18C Hornet - Freewing 90mm - Limit Links & Flights Some flights with the Main Gear Suspension mod after having some "Limit Links' added. This limits the Trailing Link travel to 15mm of Wheel travel (vertical). That is plenty to have decent Suspension action still, and it protects the Tension Springs from ever being over-stretched and damaged, plus it prevents the "Mad Trailing Link Geometry" from tilting and steering the Main Gear Wheel(s) very much at all.
The Nose Gear Spring is the stock Spring with two full coils cut off one end. This reduces the high Preload the Spring comes with, thus it softens up the Nose Suspension a lot.
All in all, very compliant Suspension that soaks up all bumps or Landing impacts. Well, of course if can't erase really bad landing impacts!!! But it still helps a lot even then! As per my terrible Flight 1 Landing (of 3 flights) on this day....
