Arifai,

Let us know how that works out. With the exception of the air cylinder problems, how are the gear overall and the whole kit... Flying/freindly etc... and quality.

A friend had this kit. Issue with the front retract which kept breaking the trunnion, you'll notice it all rotates around a 6mm key steel shaft which creates a weak point in the trunnion. Also reinforce the centre wing attachment within the fuselage, I saw a wing come off one of these a few years ago from straight & level flight.
other than that, the kit flies really well on a 100 size turbine, light and sporty.

Every time I move on to the next step of the build I find a new problem?But any way after installing my jet tronic valves and testing the landing gear my air cylinders are also not working.They rotate down but they will not cycle all the way up.Some reason the piston has blow by in that direction and it just leaks all the air out of my tanks.This is the g2 version.Im about ready to junk the build and post all the issues and start something how they scewed me out of 3500 dallars?Not uncluding all the funds spent on parts to complete this project.Thats a lot of freaking money to just give away?

hi,
your problem description exactly same mine , even after fixing the new cylinders , but mine was G1 Landing gear ,
actually I am surprised bout the same for G 2 .
I sold my jet and I was going to buy the new one with improved material and G2 lg but now I have to make more search about that . thank you for your feedback .

The landing gear is good just the cylinders I may take them apart or just go with electric.Honestly im really considering another jet this has been a real expensive head ache for me no joy at all with this purchase
