Called in to see Dave at Motors & Rotors last week and he had my eagerly awaited trailing link legs in stock to fit the Comp ARF flash.
I have been waiting for these as they are supposed to be a direct drop in replacement for the standard struts and retain the already excellent C-ARF wheels and brakes. As a matter of interest I weighed them and there is really nothing between them with the Dreamworks legs at 101gms and the standard items at 103gms.
Fitting was indeed straight forward with a slight adjustment to the strut well liner which I had made narrow to fit the standard units. Mine were fitted using cyano so just flexed this and it breaks free. Then i took a little off each return lip where it sits on the wing and refitted with cyano. A 30 minute job. The new legs fit straight on to the original 6mm pins in the retract yoke and you will have to leave approx 1mm gap at the base of the leg to allow clearance as it folds and clears the retract frames.
Wheels are the last thing and the supplied axles are over length and I had to cut 12mm off mine with a Dremel cut-off wheel. From memory I had to cut the originals down a little too. Tighten all the grub screws in the correct positions and job done.
Mine took about 1.5 hours to fit but only because I had to widen the strut covers otherwise it would have been 45 mins tops.

Superdooper P120. Had a P80 and that was fine just took a little longer to get going. Seems a perfect combo to me.

You guys on the wrong side of the pond love to use BIG power. Yes the Flash is a terrific bit of kit, its the model that comes out in any conditions and always a pleasure. I am well aware you fellas have fully tested the stress envelope so us Brits can sleep easy at 200mph.
