    Dynam corsair landing gear replacement

    Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. Purchased a Dynam Corsair as a scratch and dent. I fly from a grass field and I believe the stock landing gear is not strong enough. Besides it's out of stock at Motion even if needed to replace it. Is there a better quality replacement gear to fit this model?
    Thanks in advance for any advice, Robert

    I have the same plane and replaced mine with the FMS corsair retracts, they drop right in. I haven't flown it yet but upon gear testing they would not retract and deploy all of the time, that was enough for me to replace them. Best of luck.

      I did the same as Rocky has said. Had the same issue with the Dynam retracts even. Just had to file down the rotate pin(?) to stop it from catching on the retract mounting screw head, causing the hang up. Still wasn't comfortable so I made the switch. The FMS retracts fit right in and have yet to give me any issues.

            The retracts on my Dynam Corsair were inconsistent also. Here's my solution.
