Manufactured by Robart specifically for the Hangar 9 B25 Mitchell
this top quality set of tricycle retracting landing gear contains
everything you need to add the ultimate scale touch to your B25.
The set features fully functioning sprung oleo legs, air tank, T-pieces,
Quick connectors, fill valve and an adjustable air operating valve
that allows the air flow to be set precisely for deploying or retracting
the landing gear at scale speeds if required. Fitting the retracts
could not be easier as they are a simple drop-in replacement for
the standard fixed landing gear blocks that come with the model.
These are removed and the retracts mount directly onto the built
in landing gear rails in the engine nacelles and the forward fuselage.
The nose leg is fully steerable and set at the correct angle to provide
the characteristic B25 rake forward. A template is provided showing
the areas of nacelle and front fuselage that need to be removed to
allow the landing gear to operate smoothly. Fully illustrated instructions
for the conversion are contained in the Hangar9 B25 assembly guide
and the retract set contains an illustrated guide showing how each
of the components should be fitted for correct operation.
