Spring Air Retracts

[Dean Pappas]

One of my flying buddies ( the same guy with the killer monokote technique! ) used a check valve from an aquarium, hooked up so as to keep pressure in the mains after pumping them up in for travel.

Hello All-
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 -
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?
Your thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
 
Chris Larson
