Default RE: Large Skymaster Hawk build

Hi Sap

Don't worry about the gear. The key is volume rather than pressure. I've used two large tanks at 100 psi, when testing it I thought the gear was going to rip the wings off. It goes up and down with real aggression. It requires alot of strength to hold the gear by hand so should be fine in the air. I would fit restrictors but will let Ali decide after the test flights. The rams for the gear doors should be changed and the ram attachment moved outboard. If you do these things you won't have a problem. I'll write a list of mods I've done on this build in a few days and post it here. Had to go away at short notice so the builds stalled a bit atm. Where would I be without my i-phone?

I do love the Hawk 100 in this scheme! I thought about one for myself but holding out for the A10.

HTH
