Default Arcus owners not monitoring the Arcus newsgroup...

With a properly sized electric linear actuator, the gas spring is
unnecessary, and adds additional weight/complexity...

The wing dolly as I modified should now be available from IMI.
It is beautifully built, has an adequate axle that does not bend,
and is very light weight.

Thanks,
