I have now taken delivery of and tested the second prototype Gear Shocks
for my 235.

They are FANTASTIC - smooth out all the bumps when taxiing and make the
landings softer as well. I can now get into some grass strips that were
previously unacceptable due to the rough surface.

The manufacturer has priced them at NZ$800.00 per side (this equates to
about US$430 on today's exchange rate) - this will be plus freight. The
total cost therefor will be about $900.00 delivered to the US or Canada
etc. The manufacturer needs a minimum of 10 pairs to meet the above
price and requires a deposit on order of 25%.

The Shocks incorporate KONI oleos with coil springs and are a bolt in
replacement for the existing units.

I will take some photos and attach them to a subsequent notice.

I look forward to hearing from those interested.

Cheers John Spry
