Thanks for the info. I have been looking at these retracts, but am not sure if they are big enough.

Robart does not even list these on thier website, so I cannot find any weight ratings.

I am also looking at these as an alternative, but with the added expense of having to buy RoboStruts, they are not my favorite option.

Then there are these. I know I would be pushing it on the weight limit for these retracts, but for 1/4 the price they seem like they would be worth a try.

The couple threads I found on this plane were all electric conversions. The one source that listed the weight of his plane stated that it was 11lbs 6oz. I know glow setups are lighter than electrics, but I don't know how much difference there would be on a 1.20 sized plane.


Any thoughts, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
