I am the owner of my second S 1 C.. This new one seems to have much stiffer bungees on the landing gear. It lands like a pogo stick. My first one didn't seem to do that. I can't compress the gear by rocking the wings ( while outside of the cockpit).My first one could have had old worn out bungees causeI bought it used and flew it for several years and I never changed them. How stiff is it supposed to be? My old one wasmuch easier to land, I used to even be able to wheel land it. I wouldn't even begin to try that with my new one.

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
