here is a link to buying different rate oleo leg springs on e bay, the link is for 0.6mm wire diameter, 35mm long, 5mm dia spring.  this works well for the main wheels on 2 of my edf jets, the dead weight of the plane on each main wheel is 500g on one plane, 660 g on the other with the nose wheels at 140g to 165g .  total plane weight 1142g (F22)and 1485g(Skytek) respectively.   the 0.7mm wire dia works on the 660gms loading but is a bit stiff so it depends on your preference.  I will publish sizes on nose wheel springs in due course but they will probably be 0.6 or 0.7 wire dia  x15mm long x4mm spring dia to fit the Hobbyking 7075 strut set  ( trailing link tricycle u/c).
