Anyone flying a Dragon with Robart retracts, struts, wheels and brakes? If so what part number or sizes are you using?

My friend used Robart 635..Think he used the original plane struts..

If I were to do one, I would use the 635 with some of those trailing link struts (like Todd's) and BVM or Trim Aircraft wheels / brakes

thanks, I was looking at them. I just broke the trunion block on mine. I have the upgrade retracts that comes with the kit. Side loaded a landing which twisted the bottom of the strut and the wheel which put a lot of pressure on the trunion and broke it. I saw that Pro Link has an upgrade to the Robart 630, but a little smaller than the 635. I wish Robart, when they made the 635 trunion block, that they would have left the trunion the same shape or thickness all the way to the strut. Instead they tappered it which reduces the amount of metal around the strut.

We have a set matched up to this plane....
Our Taurus series retracts, Our (new version) Kingcat series main struts and our PL-200 nose strut are the perfect match for this aircraft.
