Default Retracts for LA1

Hi guys,

I have a LA-1 with a Hanno Special that I have had since about '92. It is a great flying, crowd pleasing machine but the mechanical retracts have always been a pain.

After every flight I have to bend the struts back so they will go into the wells cleanly. If I don't, the wheels will catch and not retract causing the servo to stall or the servo arm will slip.

Question: Which struts can I buy that will resist bending if I have a rather firm landing?

Thanks!

Pete
