Also if that doesn't spin around, eventually the Y (yoke) that guides the roatation of the retracts will snap once you get the main bolt tightened. The Robart gear is crap...

I agree, it certainly takes time to work out the kinks and I don't think it's necessarily (for me anyhow) something I'd take to the field often... everytime I've had it up in the air it's been very...

What was not pointed out clearly for you anywhere it seems before you went the FG84 route is that you'll have to do a few mods inside the plane to move the fuel tank back, and closer to the "roof" of...

Interesting. The gear looks very solidly built, but the one thing I do notice... is that the size of the mounting frame is very small. For a 30+lbs plane, to put all of the pressure between those 4...

I would assume Hangar 9 gave a CG point to balance on based on gear being in whatever position they decided to base the CG target on? In this case, with the gear being down.

Nice idea for a better setup youngguy. I definitely agree on the benefit of 1 servo when having the servo fail on the flaps, and driving both sides so you don't have any kind of unwanted roll in case...

It's an FG-84, the guy who took the video got the engine wrong. You can tell by the heatsinks between the cylinders that it is an FG84.
