I've noticed that the S1s that I've seen with spring gear have 2 additional diagonal braces on the first frame of the fuse and a cross brace just behind the firewall. As best I can tell from the plans, the bungee gear aircraft don't have this.
So, if one were to change from spring to rod gear, is it worth removing the additional diagonals and cross braces? Surely that would save a fair bit of weight.
