RE: New KMP PC-21
As soon as we have more info either ourselves or Andrew and Paul will post details. We try to avoid answering posts on here as we see this as KMP's marketplace, we tend to get more involved with the European forums like RCMF.
Regarding the change to air up, air down retracts, there was a reason for this. We found that the extra weight of oleos and scale wheels in up and coming designs caused the 110 degree units to fail occasionally on the down lock. The extra swing forward in nose legs was an issue for instance, therefore there was no other choice but to change to air. As we need a standard unit that could be adapted to different angles, we couldn't economically produce spring down and air down retracts at the same time.
