Do not forget [link=http://www.unitracts.co.uk/]Unitracts[/link] in good old U.K. They produce very nice U/C units and if you ask them you will get the scale 96 degree retraction angle. As far as I know the Robarts are 90 degree retracts. I haven't seen the Yellow Aircraft U/C live, but from the photo they also appear to be 90 degree units. Please correct me if I am wrong.


Hi,

I'm curious about this because I'm not sure what you mean by 96 degrees. Do you mean that the unit is supposed to extend beyond 90 or less than 90? If it goes beyond 90, what would that look like? Would that have to do with the dihedral of the wing and the gear pointing straight down in spite of it? Thanks in advance.
