I finally ended up putting retracts in mine. I had some spring airs lying around. The front unit was a horisontal mount for I created a simple mount and it retracts backwards. The mains retract forward vs sideways to allow for increased strut height for prop clearance. The first flight was extremely nose heavy (full up trim and still nose down) with my install and the air pocket for the front gear and I ended up doinking the nose in pretty good on landing. I have 2 rcvr batteries that can move back towards the tanks. The repair is finished and I'll post pics of the retract install soon.
