Does anyone know how it was done and what paperwork was involved? I suggest that you contact LTB Lindner in Germany. They have bought all of the patents, rights, spare parts, molds, etc for the Grob glider line, and they provide "de facto" factory maintenance support. They are quite good with quick responses to email inquiries: http://www.ltb-lindner.com/grob-saleplanes.html RO I'll second that. No idea what the market or expense would be, but Lindner might find some willing customers with a fixed gear replacement conversion for the Twin Astir retracts. Perhaps it could be offered as a TN. At least some clubs would be more willing to use them in training. Only about 25 of the Twin T models were produced originally IIRC. Frank Whiteley |

I contacted Robert. He's in Europe but said he would try and express the part we need. We've decided to keep the retractable system operative. It's kind of a kludge but I think if we can keep after the maintenance it'll be OK.. Seems to be quite a penalty if you fix the gear down.
