Dart 17r Undercarriage
I have recently aquired a super exampe of this classic but have noted a
drooping undercarriage when retracted. The pilot notes indiacte that the solutio is to replace/renew the bungee but it seems to me that the force required menas that the securing post is likely to fail. Has anybody got any experience of this problem (the need for stonger bungee - not borken post)? Can anybody recommend a type/length of bungee??

Dart 17r Undercarriage
Do mean the undercarriage doors droop? Or is the undercarriage frame and
wheel drooping. Different problems. The doors can be fixed easily with 6mm bungy. The wheel and frame means the hydraulic ram is leaking. cb At 20:59 09 July 2013, Leith Whittington wrote: I have recently aquired a super exampe of this classic but have noted a drooping undercarriage when retracted.
