<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>Thanks to Dean and Dave for the
response! I think I'll try the "S" hooks initially, and if that doesn't
work out try the check valve.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Book Antiqua" size=2>Thanks to you both. I was at a
bit of a loss trying to figure this one out!</FONT></DIV>

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>
