Scale sailplane retract shock absorber

[SoarScale2]

Anyone know of a US source for the small shock absorbers that are seen quite frequently on the larger scale sailplane retracts? I need a 50lb shock as soon as possible

Thanks, Tony Elliott

Tony, I think Fema is the only game in town for gas retract shocks. Here's their web site. If you can find what you want, I'll be in Switzerland in a couple of weeks and can arrange to have the shock(s) delivered while I'm there and you'll have them the first week of August. PM if you need help.

Regards,

Steve
