Title: 737 landing gear lever
Post by: nicd on September 03, 2010, 01:19:51 AM
Hey folks. Our landing gear lever went to heaven this week (plastic crap, lasted 3 years tho). Thinking about the OC one as a replacement http://www.opencockpits.com/catalog/landing-gear-lever-b737-p-216.html?cPath=52_59 

Anyone had experience with this one, or can recommend others? Want all metal if possible.

thanks

I purchased and have  the OC one and I think it is excellent.  Very nice fit and finish and all metal.    Has very good spring and although I have not had it flying yet I certainly scrutinized it closely when I got it and felt very good about my purchase.  Definitely worth the price.    I have to modify it slightly to work with the FDS MIP structure but that is pretty easy to do.

IMHO anyone would be very happy with this one and the price cant be beat.

Got it yesterday and it's a beautiful part ! I still have to put it in the mip and test it, but for the moment I'm very satisfied of my buy  ;)

Hi Nic,
I have just made two new true scale B737 MIPs, one for Wes Hollet and one for myself. I have to make our landing gear levers and also a B777 one for Kennair, I could easily add another one for you! It might be a few weeks though because I'm off to UK this month...just a thought. I will be adding gear levers to my product list and again under cutting the other suppliers lol!!!
Cheers, Gwyn
