Hey Tom, how did things go with the lead screw type landing leg for your Ground Control 2.0 system? Knowing how it performed could help others comparing screw types for their setups.

@JamesonC No so great, after <1year leg started binding causing causing the landing leg to prematurely stop. Had to take weight off the leg (via bottle jack) to get the jack to function again. Ended up having the dealership replace the leg. Thanks for asking. Tom
