| The retracts for our Corsair are made by the reknown scale retract manufacturer Sierra Giant Scale. They are designed exclusively to fit our Corsair. We strongly recommend to use this gear with your CARF Corsair, as both, kit and retracts, are a perfect match and designed for each other. |

CNC-machined from aircraft grade aluminum and stainless steel they feature a precise and strong 90-degree rotating mechanism, oleos exactly matched for the predicted aircraft weight and prepared for scale sized wheels. |

| The powerful pneumatic cylinders guarntee for easy retracting and safe up locking, while the down lock is done by the scale down lock strut. This makes the gear light and strong. 4 gear door cylinders are included in the set as well. The only additional item needed is a valve for gear and gear doors – electronic or mechanical. |

There is a pair of matching scale wheels with CNC machined aluminum hubs available. These wheels use the Sullivan 7” tire, which seems extremely large, but is the scale diameter. The CARF Corsair is the only Corsair on the market magaging to fit the scale size wheels on struts and into the wing. as well as a retractable tail gear with wheel, exclusively manufactured for the CARF Corsair, to be ordered separately. |

| The scale retractable tail gear for our Corsair is a light weight design, to not jeopardize the center of gravity of the plane. It still is very scale and the tyre is up to the task, too. The unit has an oleo and it retracts with a pneumatic cylinder, hidden in the fuselage. |
