    Looks good - just need some air line restrictors to slow the retract cycle down a bit and make it more realistic.

      The gear is the Robart gear designed for the kit. I was very lucky to find a nib set on ebay. I believe Robart may still custom make the gear but it won't be cheap. The kit is supposed to include the doors but they were missing from my old stock kit which also came via ebay. I used a technique where I place sheets of paper and then plastic food wrap over the gear recesses. Then I lay up fiberglass layers using zap finishing resin to form the doors. The pics and instructions in the manual helped me see how they mount and luckily my kit did include the pre-bent wires that actuate the lower doors that swing to provide ground clearance. If you want to see more detail just search for a PDF copy of the Top Flite staggering assembly manual they aren't too hard to find for free online.
