"The guys that bag on helicopters because they are too complicated and require too much fiddling, are the same ones that will stand at a table on the other side of the pits and spend two hours trying to get two landing gear to go up and down without binding or breaking"

I fly helicopters and I have spent more time getting a SINGLE nose gear to work then I ever did building a helicopter kit. That includes the trim flights and re adjustments to the helicopter.

I have 3 sets of mechanical retracts and 2 air sets. To me, the setup for air is way easy compared to the mechanical. Find a spot to mount the fill valve, tank, run lines and you are done. The mechanical you will spend time getting just the right amount of travel to get it locked but not bind, then you have to do it on the other side[sm=bananahead.gif][sm=cry_smile.gif]

Over all, I have been pleased with both sets. I did have issues with a set in a pattern plane. I had to re adjust them after about every 10 landings. I went to a better set and the problems went away.
