I get out of ground affect at about 4ft, that would make for very high gear. :-)
Seriously, get rid of the retract gear, you will be glad you did. To modify the retract gear, all you are doing is bodgying up an already suspect undercarriage. That's my 2 cents worth. I'm very glad I replaced my retracts for the following reasons: - Bigger tyres for rough strips - Wider track for better ground handling - Able to fair the legs much better and fit wheel spats (fairings) - More ground clearance - Move the mains forward for more weight on the tail - And most importantly, peace of mind when I have a not so good landing :-) regards Barry Kruyssen Cairns, Australia RAA 19-3873 k...@bigpond.com http://www.users.bigpond.com/kr2/kr2.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Heath I don't think you can get this plane out of ground affect.
