This bugged me because everyone was saying the deletion of legs was key, but to me the struts are basically legs mounted up high. It's taking advantage of tensile loading that promotes the weight reduction.
- adgjlsfhk1 2y agothe other big difference is that legs need to extend below the engine which means they need up move, which makes them much bigger and more complicated than the catch pins
