[WWI] landing gear springs on Voisin

[Michael Kendix]

Yes, I have 28 and 24 gauge that I may try.  If I were to figure this out, 
I'd have tow ork out how to make the ski attachments - I may be able to use 
the spare ones from the SPAD VII and make the extra 2 - the Voisin 3 ski 
version had 6 skis.
