There have been many gear failures with the retractable gear, but there
must be a way to do it right as I tested mine terribly the first time I
flew it and it passed with colors.
I foolishly took it to the nearest airport from where the plane was
stored, 2700 ft. Oceanside, CA. I ended up slidi
If you could completely close up the hole into which the gear retracts, it
would be faster, but all that stuff still hanging out there with that big open
hole, is what makes it about 5mph slower.

The "stock" RR retractable landing gear does not retract flush with the
bottom of the wing. It rotates straight back until the tire almost
touches the top surface of

Hasn't anyone ever thought of installing fiberglass fairings on a retract
gear it should not be that hard to do.

Get a TAS on your plane and document all the variables. Convert it to fixed
gear as some of us have already done, and do it again. Then you will know,
as those of us, who have DONE it, know.
Why does everything have to be a debate? State the facts, and the builder
makes up his mind and does i
