Default RE: PST F-84G Build Thread

Here is the 635 RS installed ( gear not fully slided in )



This requires a lot of adaptation work. All the plywood parts have to be machined including the outer rib ( check the picture ).
I have placed a big carbon roving along this rib to reinforce it.
The 635Rs itself is modified: shortened and reinforced.

The unit is very good: bigger piston, no leak, bigger arm, smooth operation.
The gear will retract and lock with 40 PSI of air.

From 100 PSI to 50 PSI ( Tam failsafe setting ) I have 5 full extend/retract cycles available with a very high power.
Beautiful.

Now I can start to concentrate on the finishing...
