RE: kangaroo
Order the Robarts from thier online site. They seem to be the best. I had Hot Spot "euro" gear in mine, never had a problem with the gear, brakes are sh#t though. Russ

RE: kangaroo
I agree with REO I have about the same set up. On a sport plane go with the spring down type. They will go down if there is a pressure leak. And not stay up where they dont do any good..

No wonder why the gear gives in when you stall it comletely 5 meters above the ground....
Sorry...

Can you give me some guidelines?

RE: kangaroo
Hello
The quality of the material is bad. The side frames are like butter. I want even talk about the trunions.
Go for Robart. They know what quality stands for. Robart cost a little bit more but last for years.
Composite and/-or M.M. can't even deliver spare parts. I have tryed thrue Composite but they can't deliver.
Robart gears and struts + wheels from BVM are perfect for the Kangaroo. They want let you down.

RE: kangaroo
hey guys thanks for the help, im not gonna use the comp arf gear, it sounds like too much hassel. One more question for you all, i have a complete set of 3 rhom retracts that i bought for a byron f 16 some years ago, can they handle the weight of a Roo 2 ? i have tried to search all over the internet and i cant find any info on rhom retracts, are they out of business? i must say i'm new to these RC fourms and i'm glad i finally found these, i do have about 12 yrs of flying RC, with the last 7yrs or so flying jets. i am currently flying a BVM mig 15 with a p80, which is a sweet plane, but u really need to beef up the gear area. this is why i just got the Roo 2 , i want a everyday jet that can take a nice bounce now and then and not send me home bitter. i live in las vegas and i have a small field only 600 feet and there is drainage ditch all the way around it, so no run off. i havent ran off the runway yet but i have been forced to rush landings a few times and that has caused me to have to repair wing area around the gear. any input of the rhoms would be nice, thanks GUYS. Carl

RE: kangaroo
Hi
I tried Spring Air from my Byron F-16, and they were too week, especially on grass. I went with Robart and never had a problem with the gear.
Robart is the way to go.
