Default RE: COMP ARF 110

Gary,
Let me know how the conversion works so I can convert mine.
It seems like the geared conversion will be perfect for this application plus eliminate the oily mess.

The picture on the right is the same as mine.
It is very sensitive to the amount of air pressure entered.
This evening, I removed all the air pressure and found that 5 full pumps on the hand pump gave me enough to raise the wings, IF I simulated engine vibration that allowed the wings to raise.
Adding more pressure got the wings to work better but the accumulator turned the pump on more often and for longer periods of time. This raised my concern that the pump would overheat.
