With that said there seems to a lot of variation between retracts and struts being used. I don't want to re-engineer the wing to get gear to fit. Is there anything truly drop in for this plane? It seems that the Behotec C36/2 may be the way to go but I don't see these offered on the CARF website. Attached is a picture of their current offering. Those wheels look hideous! I don't know who manufactures this retract package. They look to be stamped CARF. Your comments are appreciated!
Good to see you Major!
Thos gear are Airtech and they are Fugly.
i would use Electron UF set - they are great, and electrics - super easy.
all of them would hang on the well if not spaced right from the mount - you are right though that once you set them up properly on the bench, you never worry about it again.
