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!
The first time you roll a tire off the rim on take off and have to land on the rim you will wish you had a set of the Hi-speed wheels - I use electron electric retracts with the Air-Tech Hi-speed wheels ......no issues
