Jim, I landed very hard at Elko, NV a couple of years ago. The wind was howling and the sand was blowing. I quickly tied the airplane down, put on the cover and left the airport. The next morning I preflighted and came home. I did not notice any problem with the struts. However as I pulled up in front of my hangar the left strut was deflated. I had no problem taking off or landing, but I cannot be positive when the strut decided to deflate. Tim was quick and reasonable with the rebuild.

So … I’ve heard nothing regarding whether or not the deflation of Tim’s shocks causes the airplane to be “stuck” where ever it is. Is it true or do we have to consult Snopes?

The prices are very close and I’m in the market too. So is it a deal killer that if Tim’s deflates you’re stuck on the ground until repaired? Any history of deflation of either? Any downside to Spry’s? Since there are numerous folks ready to purchase, now’s the time for a bottom line answer. Have all the folks looking to buy also considered Tim’s? Why are you not buying Tim’s Debongers?
