I can shoot you some pics if you need them to do the conversion, I think it is snaggs thats converting one right now.

Status: offline 		I have one built from a kit that has fixed gear. I had another kit that's still in the box. The one in the box is the one I got the retracts for. In short I had to have one the instance I saw it. I bought the kit, then found one for sale. So I got to fly the already built one this flying season and will build the kit with retracts this winter.

I did get Spring Air retracts for it. [url]www.retracts.com.[/url] I bought the 302 kit for it. However, if you order retracts for it be sure to get the right nose gear mount for it. The 301 kit is a vertical mount like to a firewall, and the 302 kit is a horizontal mount for like mounting under a fuel tank floor.

When I called Direct Connection, they said you can't put retracts in it. However, I've seen 3 ARC D/C F-20's with retracts in them. So don't belive what they tell ya. John loves the ones he has.

what kind of speed do you think I can get using a OS46FX,I kinda like the way that Macs one piece black muffler looks.. do you think thats a good combo,,although I know it wont be as good as a tuned pipe. it looks cool.

Status: offline 		Click on profile below and send me an e-mail address where I can contact you directly. I'll send you some in-flight video and still pictures of mine. I should have some in-flight still pictures in a week or so. You can see how it flies with a Rossi .45 on it with a semi-tuned muffler.

email me at: [email]tribesaddict@swbell.net[/email]
