Default Reaction 54 - Retracts

Are the stock/recommended retracts for the Reaction 54 (Robart Mighty Mini 530 Series) suitable for grass field operations ? ? or should a stronger setup (630 series ? ?) be utilized. Thanks. Bob

Almost 70 flights off grass without a problem. They are just fine.

Bob,

You'll be pleasantly surprised on how tough the gear are. Only complaint I've had was that the steering bushing for the nose gear is a bit sloppy and Robart should be doing better job with tighter tolerances.

Just my two cents...

Cheers,

Out here in Australia, we only have grass fields. One field I fly at is littered with cow pats. No problem with the retracts.


Regards
