Default struts with an offset axle

I am working on a project for a 20-22 lb jet. I am looking to re do the landing gear. I will be useing Robart 630 1/2 gear.

I am looking for struts much like what you see in the pic. I did steal this pic from another site to show what I am looking for, but these are to small and need to find ones just like these to carry the load. I saw something like this on Robarts site a few months ago, but are now gone.

looks like an F-16 gear to me, check with Tam and see if his struts will fit your retracts.

yes, that is the look I am shooting for, F-16 stance. I have the Robart 630's almost mounted in my template, just need to find the right angled sturts.

What's available will depend on the angle you need, that will also determine the lenght, I recall Robart offering main struts for the Skymaster Gripen with a less pronounced angle, and also for the Avonds F-104 with a more pronounced angle similar to the F-16...I believe tam's struts are not 1/2" but I could be wrong...
