    Robart Electric Retracts

    I delivered the gear to FedEx last Saturday. I haven't heard anything yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post it here. I thoroughly expect them to take care of it.

    I'm building a scratch built P-51. There's a build thread here on GSN that details my efforts.

    Robart Electric Retracts

    I'm counting on it. I've always thought that robart was a quality company and produced good gear. I hope that my confidence is justified. I've got $2,000 invested in the plane and the last thing I want is to tear it up because the gear failed.

    Robart Electric Retracts

    One other thing that I've started to do when there are complaints about a product is to actually count how many "different" posters there are making the complaint. There are guys that will write 20 posts on 3-4 different forums. Makes it sound like there is a complete system failure when in...

    Robart Electric Retracts

    The mechanics of the gear that I got from Robart seems to be quite good. The issue with this set is that the tolerances between the yoke and the side frames are too close and they drag on the inside. The guy I talked to at Robart knew exactly what I was talking about and watched the video I...

    Robart Electric Retracts

    Thanks. I've heard a lot of the same complaints. But, and my information may not be totally accurate, I've heard that the problems came when robart was sourcing components from Down and Locked. Apparently now that they are using their own actuators, the issues have been resolved. You can...

    Scale Plans built P-51

    OK - I sent Robart a link to this thread earlier this morning and then called them this afternoon. They are sending me a FedEx return tag and are going to fix them ASAP, and send them back. I'll let everyone know how this goes. I've never had a problem with Robart equipment or customer...

    Robart Electric Retracts

    As you watch the retracts extend you'll see them hang up. The issue is that the lift yoke assembly rubs against the inside of the side frames, on both sides. There isn't enough clearance and unless you're running a fully charged 6 volt battery, it'll stall the retract. Put a 6 inch tire on it...

    Robart Electric Retracts

    In this video that I posted on my P-51 build thread, you cn clearly see that there is a catch in the movement. They both hang up in the same place. I discovered what the problem is, and thought since some of you had asked, that I would share my findings with you.

    Scale Plans built P-51

    I got to spend about 45 minutes in the shop last night and also tonight. During that short amount of time, I built 4 removable servo trays and installed the flap and aileron servos. Tonight I installed 6 servo wire tubes, and installed all the leads from the servos to the center of the wing...

    Reza has been here for a week and he's already giving stuff away! RED LINE OIL!

    I ordered mine online. No distributor locally. Search "redline 2-stroke racing oil for sale". I found the best deal on Amazon. Got it in 3 days, decent price.
