Default Matrix Undercarriages

Does anyone have a good active link for a company cally Matrix who make scale undercarriage units as I'm looking for a set of scale units for 1:6.75 scale F16.

Thanks in advance

Phil, I would advise against matrix. I have a set of their gear (same ones you are looking for) which fails to operate properly $2100 later. The quality has become so poor that many venders who used to use matrix has gone elsewhere. You’ve been warned and the guy doesn’t support his products...

My experience has been just the opposite. John has made air extendable nose gear for 2 of my Phantoms which have worked very well. Admittedly, they are not as complex as an F-16 main gear but the quality of machining was excellent and they work perfectly. The nose gear for my SM 1/6 Phantom was the first that he made for the 1/6 size and needed several adjustments. The changes were made with a quick turnaround.
