R4 clarification

Keep reading. BACKWARDS in this case, to R3B. You're just fine, provided that it's retracted to start and <=15" past the Frame Perimeter when deployed.

Hah! I was debating putting that in my post to begin with. So just to confirm, it's fine, even though it would extend in front of the bumper?

The rules you want to review are those regarding the Frame Perimeter (mainly R2-R4) and those regarding bumpers (mainly R19-R28). It's generally helpful to get in the habit of thinking of the rules in the language used in the manual, so you can be descriptive when asking about specific configurations.

Looking at your illustrations, it's hard to tell where the retracted position is relative to the Frame Perimeter, but the general concept seems to be within the scope of the rules.

Yep. I checked those but I wasn't wholly sure.

The retracted piston would be within the frame perimeter, yes.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind for next time.

Thank you!
