Default RE: 87



Hi Avaiojet,
Yes I have posted pictures of two different models. The pictures at the start of this thread are pictures I found on the internet of this particular scale model. Where as there are endless pictures of the 1/12 scale plane, these are all I could find of the 1/18 scale plane so I have used these to help get my build started.



My model does have retractable gear, the pictures show just the layout of the carbon fibre parts before I fitted the mechanical parts. I was planning to make these retracts with some sort of screw jack operation like the real plane but there was always something that didnt quite work properly. I decided then to build them like a few people have done on their 1/12 scale plane and now their working fine. I will post pictures shortly of the retractable gear for you to see.
