Default Wingspan Retracts

I have received and fitted to my 60 size P-40 Wingspan retracts. I fitted them with Robart struts and Rodart 4" wheels with plastic hubs. I believe there is too much weight for these retracts to work properly when going through their cycle (they are stalling and locking up). They may work with wire struts and lightweight wheels. Therefore I will not be using these retracts.

There is a long thread on here somewhere about the WS retracts and their issues.
