Default Retract gear - BVM / Skymaster Hawk

These are a set of gear which I purchased thru BVM with a Skymaster Hawk kit several years ago. The gear retails currently for $1490. The airframe was lost in a crash and there was minor damage to the front retract unit. Notice in the pics that it is missing the servo mountin plate and block that holds the strut into the unit. I am sure you could get this from Skymaster, or make your own. The wheels, brakes and struts all work flawlessly. They measure about 8 inches from the bottom of the mount to the axle. The struts are oil filled and can be adjusted for compression. The retract body measures about 1.75 to 2.5 inches. I will include a tank and servo operated valve with the purchase, or for $50 more I can provide an electronic valve. Price includes shipping. I held on to them thinking I would build another Hawk but it has not happened, so time to let them go.
Shipped $425. Trades considered.

Looks like what you have is a set for the "Xtreme" version, 70" wingspan. I have the 78" and main tires are 4 1/2" and distance from base of retract to center of axle is 8 3/4".
