Jimbo, I am going to print your technique for future use.... sounds very involved but will attempt it on lesser projects and see what happens.... I researched the Robart gear and was discouraged at the price of the entire system.... makes the kit purchase seem secondary. Is there a better value in retracts that are dependable? Are we paying for the name?
Took longer to describe it than to do it
Would like to use the CJ retracts because it is a complete set and will save a couple of bucks, but I already have some Robarts in other airplanes, so think I will stay with them for future commonality...
The TF Spit is designed for the Robarts, and I don't know how much modification would be required for the CJs, so I see no compelling reason to use them, since you know Murphy will visit the installation at least once!
