RE: Fly Eagle F-15 (1/9) Building Thread
Even if the gear don't leak when the cylinders are at rest (i.e., when the gear is up or down), the problem is that they leak while in transit. When this happens, the gear get slowed, or stopped in transit by the airflow after the plane lifts off and the air pressure drops, the gear don't cycle all the way, or get caught on the doors, the air all leaks out, and you're stuck with a gear up landing. I have well over 30 flights on my FEJ F-15 and I can count on one hand the number of times the gear worked correctly in the air - even when they worked perfectly on the ground.
The complete switch to Robarts will solve the problem...
