RE: Robinaire 60 Size Rotating Retracts

Yup, it was / is a big project. I have to admit tho it went faster after I lost my build room and couldn't fly for a while. :( I only have 4 flights on the Corsair and I'm looking forward to getting...

Long time no post. My house project is almost done and I should be back in the saddle (cockpit) by April.

I would love to have servo-actuated rotating retracts. I use servos...

There's a really interesting question and not so simple because everything is curved in that area. I'm assuming that you mean the depth at the well doubler because you can see the aft spar...

RE: Robinaire 60 Size Rotating Retracts

Hi Lee,

I'm back at home too in Maastricht. I wanted to fly yesterday but the jet lag was still adding too much drag to my motivation. I imagine that Tsutomu has it even worse. We have only a 6...

My thanks to all. You're the man Lee! :D I'm having a great time shopping here for all the the inch stuff that I can't find in metric land. Still haven't found a 1/8 pilot though.
