Electron struts or Aiebeast?
I'm building a T1 jet and using Electron retracts. But some of the guys are saying I should get Airbeast struts to go with the Electron retracts. Are Airbeast struts better or are the Electron struts just as good?

Thanks guys for chiming in. It sure would make it easier to just stay with Electron all the way. A local here has the T1 with Electron gear and Airbeast struts and he says he really likes that combo.

I haven't ordered anything yet but think I will just stay with Electron all the way. I was going to just order the JP retracts from PRCJ when I ordered the T1 but after reading in the T1 threads I think I want to go with Electron even though the JP retracts might be fine.

JP retract was fine at the beginning, but I started having problems last year...middle of the second season....change some parts was working then broke again...I give up on it....while in my mini, which is now Electron as well I have had zero problems......I also have problem with my Turbo Prop, nose gear wouldn’t come down.....cost me a shaft and prop on the TP that was very expensive....at point it was clear I was changing all my planes to electron...no matter what...
All I can say, some don’t have any problems so do.....one thing for sure the brakes are terrible on the JP, but I could live with that with the addition (more money) in installing the LG15.....just a money pit LOL

I just ordered mine and was told it will be 3 to 4 months at least. I'm ok with that and will start ordering parts for my jet so I have everything when it does get here. I know the corona virus has keep workers from going back to work so it's going to take a little longer because of that too. I'm not in a hurry and will be pleasantly surprised when it get here.

Yes he said 12 weeks at least so I'm giving myself some headroom lol. Now that it's ordered I'm going to forget I ordered it and be surprised when it shows up. For now I'm ordering everything for it so I have it before it gets here. I was going to order the JP gear for $725. but when you figure in he gives you a $300. discount if you order the jet without gear and add that to the $725. and you now are paying what the Electron gear cost. So now I feel good about going the Electron route
