KMP and other Shops don't ship to Switzerland So I hope one of you can do this for me. I would pay with PayPal.

He didn't give me an exact quote, he just said the price would be about the same
as similar sized tailgear. So I would say around $150, (but that could be a high number)
He could definately tell us if we can get enough people that want them.

I have not worked out a price for the tail retract yet but it would be between $75.00 and $100.00
depending on the final quantity.

The thing I would like someone to work out is how we would mount the tail unit.

Without cutting the tail off the plane, how do we get a former for the retract mounted and a
rib in the vertical fin to mount the cylinder to.

If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

Thanks,

Darrell

Darrell,
Thanks for posting. Since I brought the idea up to you, I will cut open a scale size opening in mine tonight (I'm not scared )
Then by looking inside I might have a better answer. I'll post a pic when I'm done. Depending on how wide the hole is you could probably
fit a former in the fuse but it might have to be a two piece and then epoxy together when in the fuse. As far as the rib in the vertical fin
how high from the bottom of the fuse do you need it to be. Depending on where it needs to be you might be able to cut a small hole in the back
of the fin and slide in a former. I might be way off here though. But either way I'm cutting into the bottom of my fuse because one way or
another I would like the tailgear in the proper place. The pull-pull cables system may be interesting as well.

Just my personal preference but I would rather pay a little more and have a higher quality more detailed gear set up.

Again thanks for your time Darrell.

Did a rough cutout tonight for a future tailgear. Pretty hollow in there. But after seeing what has been done
in the past by some people I still think it is definately possible.

Also for those mounting factory tail wire to bottom of fuse be careful, When I cut mine out I noticed that it was way off center
and there was a large glob of hot glue between bottom of fuse and plywood the gear bracket is supposed to mount too. The glue was
over 3/8 of an inch thick so the gear would have attached to glue instead of wood.

Status: offline 		How goes it.. The 190 is looking nice. As for the access for the tailwheel formers you need to install...If you don't hinge the rudder first you can carfully cutout the reaer vertical hinge former cut out your access retract hole (like you have done) and then do as we have to on the SisT kit
First shape and install your front lower support and then install the upper/cylinder support between the vertical fin sides. Would need the gear on hand to fit all the formers correctly..

Same here...
That's about what I paid, if I remember correctly. Maybe a little more. Got mine from Tomas. Took about a week for it to get here. Ordered the retracts from Darrell @ Sierra on a Friday and they were here on the next Monday.
