Well,
Everything is done! Whew, another ARF labor of love. I received the YT air up/spring down cylinders and installed them. That not only upgraded the G5 gear but gave me the opportunity to apply "blue" loctite to all the retract screws. The new cylinders are top-notch and the gear works flawlessly (at least on the bench). Here are a few final shop pics. "Big Jim" sez "Well pilgrim, enough of this ***** footin around the ole workshop, let's get this pony up in the air."
Happy Flying!
