Default RE: Retracts

The only problem with Lado is that they are a new startup company going thru growing pains.
The product is fantastic and the family running is doing all they can to make their customers happy.
As for durability?
The midair I was involved in this last weekend at the races was a headon with a rate of closure of approx 280 MPH.
Part of the other plane destroyed my left wing leading edge and sheeting in front of the mounting blocks for my retracts and above them.
When I hauled the wreckage back to the pits to check things out, the Lados worked as if nothing had happened.
I will be slowly switching all my pneumatic retracts out for Lados.
