High quality hardware, but could be a bit pricey. Bought to replace OEM może gear leg of E-Flite T-28 2M Trojan. Spring seems to be on soft side, and it misseses some form of damping, but franklyI haven't tested it on operation yet, so "good" rating may be inadequate I admit. Will sse....

The quality is outstanding. I used this for a different plane that needed better nose gear. The spring is very stiff (probably perfect for an A-10) but it was very easy to replace the spring with something more suitable for my application. This is now probably the strongest part of the whole plane.

I flew 3 flights on this new gear strut today and it worked well. One landing was a little rough and I could see the shock absorption happening. Installation was very easy.

Fits and functions as designed, but you must cut a relief in the gear door for the tire to fit through, as the trailing link suspension puts the wheel center in a different position.

This is an excellent strong piece of gear, but mine was VERY stiff and seemingly over sprung. It took a LOT of force to move the wheel up and absorb shock, and sometimes seemed to be rubbing against something inside when it didn’t want to move much at all. I was using it on a 12lb model and it just wasn’t working the way that it should. Don’t know whether this is one off or something to do with the geometry/engineering. Recommend you try working it in the shop first before you install to see if the force required seems right for your application.
