$700.00? Does that include some Glennis wheels or something?
I just looked at the retracts required for the Topflite P-51 as a comparison:
Robart #622-5 retracts $293
#160LWC tailwheel $147
#157VRX air kit $84
$10 in extra line
$9 in extra couplers
That's only about $550, so maybe these are the air-up, spring down retracts, which would be SWEET. Otherwise, maybe Mark could elaborate on where the $700 figure comes from...
You also have to include 3 extra air cylinders to run the gear doors, plus the valve to run them.
