Default Trim Wheels

You can partner those up with Trim wheels and brakes and you'll be all set. We can even supply you the retracts as well. Drop me a line.

Ed's right. He now has the Trims in the exact sizes to fit all of the different Robart strut bottom combinations. Excellent brakes at a great price.

Default HotSpot Retracts

JetCat USA has the new version of the original retracts but they have aluminum shells now and the brakes are the flat o-ring type. They work great and do not require any modifications to install.

Hi,
Suggest Springair 400 series with 7/16" Robart legs on the
mains fitted with Intairco brakes (3 1/2"), Intairco noseleg and
2 1/4" nose wheel, just a suggestion but replace the lite ply
nose gear mount side plates with good ply using the originals
as a pattern. The original Graupner gear lasts maye 25-30
flights depending on the surface you fly from ........
