Aah, just got a set of "normal" extenders today.

 

[ecoleman]

Why?, Just why?

 

[Michael Ainsworth]

Because he can.

very nice.. BUT.. why not having the " regular " feet ?? would have a better touch on the ground..?

With tongue firmly in cheek ...
With the un-damped springs the 'arrow' profile end is needed so that the foot will penetrate soft ground, to be gripped and retained. Otherwise the aircraft will be thrown up and sideways when landing 'one foot first' on uneven ground, such as grass.
ft landing on tarmac or concrete of course it doesn't matter, the whole aircraft will just bounce up and down.

Actually, I admire the commercial motivation to stir the market by adding new variations on a theme, this is how such people remain in business.
I must also confess that my first thought was 'model off-road buggies etc have spring + damper units, why haven't these got dampers?', but of course, that might be for the next market stir!!

Regards.

And then they could be preloaded and released on take off for that extra kick.

How do I get a set?

 

[TrayBoz]

I like the way you think. How much for a set of grey?

[bakerboy]

extra weight when you already have a built in landing gear with shock absorber?

 

[MrMavic]

I think I'll wait for your new improved Fox Extra Long Travel Off Road Model with external gas cylinders and while we're at it maybe a hydraulic self leveling system like they use on motor homes. Good Gawd.

Cmon guys, admit it. You cringe a little bit every time it self lands and bumps a little. Haha

 

[Peregrine]

Or, for those of you on a budget................. Simply poke the legs into large marshmallows

Not at all.

 

[bakerboy]

self lands? time to take the training wheels off and learn to fly haha

 

[MrMavic]

The Mavic lands very softly. I just don't see a need here folks.

Easy there, I think my training wheels came off when I flew 2 miles out to sea on a windy day. You're not getting the point, but I'll just let ya stay that way.

 

[bakerboy]

big deal, you went out far, but you still can't manually land? yeah your wheels are still on
