Rich, the entire X5 suspension system design seems to be of compromising attempt to solve the troubled early models design and to accommodate existing plastic bottom frame features without costly changes to it. For example, the clamping nuts devices are of bizarre shape, machined from heavy solid chunks of aluminum to fit into old rubber dampers nests. Although the system does the vibrations damping job flawlessly, the entire +/- 600G load hangs on four only M3 screws fastened to the Inspire belly through a very thin aluminum beneath their shoulders! They'll be ripped off during particularly rough landing ... Oh, well, after all no aircraft will survive crash landing intact ...
Cheers, brother. |
