Status: offline 		Is there another source for robart parts for their struts. I have a broken strut due to a hard landing. so i ordered the part from robart. They sent me one but it was the wrong side. so i called them and they said they would ship the right one. 1 week later still no part so i called again, said they would ship it right out. now one week later and still no part. just got off of the phone with them and the said they would call me back but I do not believe it. I am a little dissapointed with this manufacturer who is supposed to be the best of the best.

Status: offline 		I understand your frustration. I went through almost the same thing you are with them over some struts, sending me two different struts, sending one back, phone calls, etc. but I finally got what I needed. They hooked me up with a guy named Karl who seemed to understand what I was talking about. I still find theirs the best after experience with other brands. It's too bad you can't get a good product AND good service. Maybe they're overwhelmed because flying season is coming up.

Status: offline 		YES Gene Barton is an excellent way to go He has made several struts and retracts for us. He made some struts for a set of Robarts that we have in a tf p51 and they are great. After seeing the quality difference between the "manufactured" Retracts and the customs All mine from now on will have the custom's by Gene

You can also try Shindin I've seen some of his work. Very nice.

Status: offline 		i got you guys beat. i ordered a set of gear from century jet for a ziroli p-38 after waiting two months for them to get built, they sent them a different address than mine to a place where no one lived. to top it off, they didn't even use the right plan sheet from ziroli to make the gear . they were so screwed up you couldn't beleive it . the mains wouldn't even put the wheel up in the boom and the nose gear axel hit the back former 'cause it was so long. they look like they were built with a file and bench grinder! robart may have there problems ,but i refuse to buy anything else. i'm glad we even have companys able to build gear. that's my two cents , ron

I've heard similar things about Century Jet, but Gene Barton does build some excellent gear.

Status: offline 		Looks like nothing has changed at Century Jet. The comment about them looking like they were made with a file and bench grinder is fitting. That is exactly what mine looked like.
