Well that's unfortunate. I came quite close to buying their electric upgrade set, only to realize I still had another 6 air cylinders on the plane between doors and speed boards, so I held off. I responded to Peter's post about Intairco changing hands to ask if gear parts would still be available from one of the companies taking over but didn't see a response (believe he said some things were going off to Final Modellbau with other things to GJC), would have liked to have ordered a couple of nose gear pins/bushings at least to keep on hand.
Sounds like you're getting the answers you need Bob, but if I can be any more help I will try.
