Its a 60 ZDZ which Mike of R.C.S. loaned me. I will be installing a ZDZ 80, using the pictured RCS machined aluminum 60/80 Isomount.

Status: offline 		I bought the same rig for my retracts. They sent a nose gear for me to use as a tail wheel retract. Didnt think of that since I already had one. I was concerned mostly about the cosmetic looks of the robart 673LR struts. I'm sure they are strong enough, they just looked a little small in diameter. Would like to have gotten some 5/8" struts but this is no big deal. The TF giant P-47 is being setup as an everyday flyer. Installation looks really good. My gear doors will be fiberglass, about 3 layers of 4 to 6 oz. Seeing those pictures builds up my enthusiasm. Got ta finish the current project asap.
