Retracts<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>Hello All-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>My Typhoon 2+2 is almost complete, and I
hope to test fly thisweekend. Many thanks to Dick Belden for making this
possible. One thing that has come up is with the retracts. Here is
the situation and question -</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>With Spring Air retracts, the gear is
down when there is no air pressure. Due to transportation issues, I use
a wing bag. See the problem? How do you guys who use Spring Airs
get the retracts to stay in the "up" position for transportation in a wing
bag?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>Your thoughts and suggestions would be
appreciated!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
