Den Moran Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi, everyone.I've recently gained access to a tarmac strip (quiet road!), and was thinking about fitting undercarriage to my 64mm Sabre. Does anyone have any ideas about fixed or retracts, and any alternative sets that may fit the 64mm FMS Sabre, please? Thank you, Den, Cymru.

Engine Doctor Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 You lucky person I'm envious ! have you looked at the electric retracts avaialble . They are pretty robust and not very expensive . They also do a steerable front retract . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Moran Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Thanks, they are all too heavy, unfortunately. I'm tending towards a fixedu/c - may even use cable tie loops, a la Glue'ngo Mig 27 on Youtube! This system works well on those, although the Sabre is a bit heavier, I think.
