Default MIG 29 Gear

Matt,
Even Wolfie was having trouble with his gear in Thailand causing him to scratch round three.

I am sure that the gear can be made to work but we need to make it work with complete reliability before it can be considered airworthy.

I have serious doubts that we can lock the gear down with air pressure as any rearward load on the leg will simply compress the air possibly causing it collapse.

. Anyway I think the pressure is on FC to give it theit attention and we are, with the support of some othern decdicated Mig buliders, getting there !

Thanks for your input.
BRG,
