    It's not quite finished yet. I was hoping to have flown it by now but other things keep getting in the way. I'd like to get it flown in time to take it to Huntsville, Alabama's Warbird meet a week from Saturday but don.t know if I'll make it or not.

    Status: offline     		I am in process of installing my robart 630 BNZ retract landing gear in the main wing. My question is: Does the retract landing gear can be fold by hand without connecting the air kit. Do I need to do some special preparation with the retract landing gear before I install them. Thanx.

    Status: offline     		They can be folded by hand if they aren't locked. I just last week got all my air system hooked up and cycled the gear. Before installing them I put a few drops of refrigeration oil in each cylinder.

    Status: offline     		Take a good look at your retract mechanism. There is an up and a down lock position. The air piston moves the retract locking "pin" from one extreem to the other. At the extreems the retract locks. You can move that "pin" with a small screw driver if there is no air in the system. Once it's moved off the lock the gear leg can be moved up or down by hand.

    Thanks, Can you send a pic that showing the pin I don't want to cause a damage to the retract landing gear, they are expensive.

    Thanks. I suspected that this is the pin Bob was talking about but I was not sure about it.
