Default yak landing gear

Hey guy's
Was wondering when omp updated the tetherite landing gear
I bought my yak 65 last year in September
The gear is not bad as long as you do not land harder than a feather!
The plane to build and fly is just awesome but the gear sucks so was wondering if there is some update

The tetherites are the best landing gear ive ever seen, My original yak used and abused them and they still live on another plane. they are a bit flexy but ive never had a problem with them, you just can't beat the crazy legs.

I have this gear on my 79" Yak. It's been great! It's a good match 'cuz it's so easy to land. Lands like a feather!

Tetherite started the updated 90 size gear last winter/early spring. Great products for sure!

The 90 size Tetherite gear did have an update in the spring, but may not have made it into the OMP 65" YAK at that time[].
Send an e-mail direct for additional info.
"Constrictor" - as always - thanks for your vote of confidence!!!
Also, if you would send an e-mail - I need your home address.
Thanx and good landings
