Default Factory retracts.

The Tiger 60 Deluxe comes with robart pneumatic retracts.I got one of the first kits around here. I had nothing but problems with the retracts themselves. One of the mains had an air leak, and the struts were vere soft. It's almost dificult to make a bad landing with a Tiger 60, but even the best landing would often bend the struts. I've heard this same complaint from others. If they haven't corrected the problem since then, I don't recomend the kit. You'ld be better off by getting a regular kit and putting in good after market retracts yourself.
The last straw was when I put a main gear into a gopher hole. Of course that would have bent any gear.
