installation of retracts

[stooge]

Hello, Ive reviewed the previous posts on the pro's and cons of retracts and decided I want them any way. What amount of work was required to retrofit say the Infinity retracts for any body that has done this to thier aircraft?

Hi There,

Did you end up buying the gear? if so, did you buy it from the Infinity?
How was the buying experience?

Thanks,

[Waiter]

I purchased the gear 2nd hand.  The person I got it from bought it ten years ago. After sitting in storage for all those years, he finally decided not to do the retrofit.

Even though I didn't purchase the gear directly from Infinity Aerospace, their support has been excellent.

I'm very pleased with the quality of the design, materials, and workmanship.

I've heard several horror stories regarding this gear, but on closer examination, I've found these case were a result of faulty/incorrect installations.


The only thing I would have done different regarding the gear, I would have torn everything down and installed new o-rings in all the parts (this thing sat for over ten years). I've got all the o-rings replaced now, but after I seen a leak.
