Love the conversion to the e-flight retracts, what would it cost to get a conversion and olio's to the UK?

Mike
I can offer without brake for $285.
That with Hangar 9 2" main and dual 1.5" nose.
With TJ Pro-Lite wheels/brake 2" main and dual 1.75" nose $400.

I like the oleos! Do you have the dimensions? If they fit the Habu32 I'll get a set off you.

Cheers

I'm getting the Habu very soon...
Wait a minute. I make Ali a set and install for him at Florida Jets.
Down the pipe line I'll had complete set for Habu 32 and many other aircrafts.
The trailing struts can be custom cut to fit almost any plane. The strut had many set screw holes able to custom cut to right length you need.

Here is the nose strut for T-45.

I am looking forward to pimping my Bu32 at Florida jets with a custom set of Tam undercrackers! The only thing that is missing from the Bu in my mind. Oh, and I am sure when they are available, Tam's European dealer will be stocking them ( and other undercarriage sets as well)
Regards Al

It so cheap. I got three for myself.
The one I just finish for TJ90 6s 5000mAh set up weight 7.3 lbs.
The P-20 conversion should be much less. Since no Lipos to balance. I had to move the engine so much forward.
But not enough time ready for Florida Jets. Too much works need to be done before leaving and works at machine shop getting the metals works done first is #1 priorty.

Power Jet.. I am sorry, but out of the 10 we pre ordered we only got 4 pieces... These all sold out already, even before they made it to the site.
I am trying to find out when they will be back with us, and will keep you informed.

Nice work! about the same dry/landing weight and thrust as the EDF then, but I guess the higher efflux of the P20 will compensate and make it go better :-)

Carry alot of right aileron trim and know what cause that. Next one I built will fix that problem with the stabs.
The mold where you glue on the stabs are not truth straight. If you glue follow it. The stabs are off by few degree.
Other than that. It fun plane flying around.
