Hanger 9 Texan, replacement retracts
Hi there,
I flew my Texan today for her maiden. Looked great, took off nice, and flew like it was on rails. When it came time for the landing, I started slowing her down.. Overshot my landing and went for a go around. Dead stick as soon as I throttled up, so I decided to make my landing any way. Flared a bit to soon, and it dropped from about 4 feet, straight onto the mains. This caused both of them to shatter the plastic parts. I know four feet is kinda high for a fall, but should they have exploded?
Anyhoo, I had already done the Robart strut mod, but now I'm wondering of the whole Robart retract assembly would fit? As anyone used any other retracts on this bird?
Thank you!
