Default spring air

Why does it have to be spring air?? The Robart 630 series would be a good choice. Spring air makes a 400 series that is similar to the Robarts.

Default 25lb Retracts

Hi Pegasus

Just got in the 400 series retracts for our Roo last night. Very beefy. Since we intend to do a lot of grass flying, we shouldn't be able to bend these.

Default Retracts for 25-30# Jets

I agree with both of the previous posts.

I have used BOTH sets and like them equally as well and ALL my flying is off grass.

I have S/A 400's w/1/2" Robo-Struts in my ARES design. It weighes in at 23# Dry/28.5# Wet. Not a single issue.

Based on a COST ONLY evaluation, go with the 400 S/A.

I would suggest that you check-in with Sonny at B&D Gear as well.
