Default Robbe Dash 7 Airliner - Help!

I am looking for the fixed landing gear that Robbe made for this airliner kit...if anyone has a set or possibly a crashed airframe and will part with the landing gear, please let me know.

Thanks,
Andrew

It's got wire landing gear, right?

Worst case scenario, you can drop by your local hobby shop and pick up some music wire and a wire bending tool. Then you can roll your own.

Kind of on the topic.....


I would bend my own. It's pretty easy to silver solder the dual axle trucks.

That said... is that kit still available? I have about 900 hours in the full scale DHC-7, and even started scratch building a close to 1:12 scale version (to be powered by 4 .25 glow) years ago. In fact, the fuse still hangs in my garage.

I'd love to have an electric one, with 4 brushless and LiPos in it, painted in Pan Am Express colors!

Unfortunately, the Robbe Dash 7 airliner kit is long out of production...I picked one up from an Ebay auction that is NIB but the seller never purchased the Robbe fixed landing gear set that was sold seperately. I will bend up my own landing gear. I am not aware of another Dash 7 kit or plans at this time. There is however, a Dash 8 (two engine turbo prop) airliner kit (or plans) from RT Models. It can be built electric or glow powered. Their website is: www.rtmodels.com

I'll have to keep an eye on the bay for one. I am not really interested in a -8, as I flew the -7. An ATR-42 might be kind of cool though!
