Sorry if this has been answered before.

I have the Jet-1A gear in my (unflown) Flash and am a bit worried about the strength of the retract springs. When I select the gear down there is not a positive push and the gear sort of flops down. If I select the gear down with the model upside down the gear barely lifts out of the wheel wells. Now I know I would never do this in practice and Sandor assures me that they will be fine as long as I omit the nose door as the wheels will drop by gravity.

Has anyone else that has used the Jet-1A gear noticed this and has it given you any problems. Is it possible to get stiffer springs to go in the cylinders?
