Default Pica T-28 retracts and gear

Ok all you old timers(me included), just was given a Pica T-28 65" wing span. Want to know what gear fits now. It suggests Rohm-air, which is longer in business. I see that Sierra and Robart and Century Jet offer retracts, but they are for the bigger kit. Just get me in the ballpark with ideas of what you have used. Have a Super-tiger 75 which I think will fit. Will run a 3-blade prop on this one.

That is what I had way back when also. I would get with Robart or Sierra to see if they have retracts for this model and go with either of them. Sierra will be more pricey but more scale looking also. I would reccomend going with a shock type main gear strut over just plain spring wire.
