Default RE: PST F-84G Build Thread

Hi Steve,

Yes, we are seeing the ram-air resistance on customers' F-84Gs fitted with main gear doors. On our F-84Gs, we made spring-loaded swivel gear doors (for scale) that coincidentally neutralized the ram-air effects and we also used 120+psi pressure which helped to take the gears in. The 2nd F-84G has the doors removed due to some damages and not because of the ram-air. However, we are designing a new and larger retract cylinders to get more pulling strength. When this new design is finished, we will send them to all F-84G owners.

Regards,
Kraivuth S.
