For some reason, I have always liked trailing-landing gear like you see on the Beechcraft Musketeer/Sundowner, PZL Wilga, etc. but you don't see much like that in the homebuilt world since almost everyone uses spring gear these days. Does anyone know of any good examples (factory or homebuilt) of relatively simple trailing-link gear designs, ideally using something low-tech like rubber disks in compression or bungees in tension or even repurposed scooter shocks rather than aircraft oleo struts? Cheers, Matthew
