RE: Need Rhom Air retracts!!
I have a brand new, never installed set of Rom Air trikes with storage cylinder, valve, hoses, fill valve with couplers. Manual included.
I purchased these to use on my Wing A-26 Invader. I am definately impressed with the quality of machining and parts fit. If you've ever examined a set of D&B's, you'll immediately know what I'm taking about.
Anyhow, imagine my disappointment when I rotated the wire legs 90 degrees on the mains only to find out that the shock coils hit the cylinders, preventing the gear from locking in the full up position. The Invader has the mains in the nacelles and must rotate front to back, so moving the coils is essential.
Guess I have a brand new set of retracts that are unuseable in my intended bird.
Oh, I have other airframes I could mount these into but the A-26 is "next" on my list, lol... 5-32" wires all around.
Anyone out there with a set of Spring Airs, Robarts or similar wanting to trade? Once again, the mains must be able to cycle front to rear without the coils banging into the pressure cylinders.
Thanks!
