Wings (cont)
Gear:
Trimmed up the gear inserts and screwed them in for easy future repairs.
Had to slice each side of insert so the gear would slide under it.
Also, one side of the wing needed a notch in the wood for gear clearance.
No compression at all on the gear.
Initially, thought no spring but, after removing side retaining screw, the spring came out.
Went to ACE hardware and got two shorter springs (they didn't have any long ones) for each side and now the oleos seem to work just right.
Added some lithium grease while they were apart.
Never had success with off brand valve systems which is provided with this ARF.
Was able to heat and force some robart air hose over the gear nipple.
The nipples are much larger than used on 'normal' gears so only able to get the air hose on part way but past the first ridge so it should stay on, hopefully!
Will have to look back on this thread and see if anyone has had problems with the provided air system and any solutions.
