Default Robart Landing Gear for Giant Scale Warbird

NIB Main Gear for your giant scale warbird. I planned on using this gear for a CMP Zero but used Sierra instead. Sales receipt included. $185 plus shipping. Will not ship overseas.

Default Robart gear

Is this Jim Stanton? Hey I bought a cowl from you for a CMP Zero years back. Nice piece of work. Can I get another one? Finally started working on the plane Dec. 2017. Almost done. Need to post some pics....Your Zero was my inspiration. Do you still have it?

These mains are 85 degree 4 inch struts. I bought them new from Tower, still have the sales receipt in the box, 225.00. They've never been connected to anything or even placed in a wing.

The TFGS P51 is designed for a different set of gear if I remember correctly. They will drop in, perfect fit.... I have this set up. I don't think the 633's will fit without modification. They can be made to work I'm sure.

The price is right, its a question of how much time you have and how skilled you are on making the changes. I have no fancy laser gear or anything to help on set up, but I've installed Sierra in CMP Zero, ESM Zero, Pica P-51. I've also installed gear in Dave Platt 1/5 BF 109 and robarts in several Han 9 .60 Corsairs. The Corsair was difficult, but the wobbly wire mechanical gear just had to go...they get a little worse after each landing.

Respectfully,
John Z.

Default Gear for Top Flite P-51D

John,

Yes this is Jim Stanton and I do believe I can get you another Cowl for that Zero if you need it. My Zero is going through some modification changes right now and I hope to have her flying again this coming spring.

Did you say you had the gear that was made for the Top Flite P'51D?
Thanks
Jim Stanton

Hello Jim,

Okay the gear I'm selling is the Robart 633 set. The gear for the TFGS P-51 is 622-5 I believe. I have a this set also, but its already installed in my TFGS P-51.

Hope this helps.

Respectfully,
JZ

LMK how much the cowl would cost...shipping to 78255

JZ,

I have decided to go with a set of electric retracts I have. All I need to do is find the right length of struts for them.

Let me know if you still want another cowl for your Zero.

Hope they will work out well for you. I'll let you know how it goes on the maiden with the CMP Zero.
