P-40 scale retracts?
I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any scale or pivoting retracts for a .40 size P-40?
In case you don't know what I mean they rotated straight back towards the tail, and then the tires turned 90 degree's to close into the wing.
Like a Corsair basically.

Rotating retracts are a nightmare. If you don't nail your landings every time, you spend a lot of time repairing. I fly off grass and spend a lot of time tinkering with my Robart retracts in my Corsair. Checkout some of the info on rotating retracts on RCWarbirds.

Well if they're a pain I'll swing wide of them. Not a 100% scale bird anyway I just thought the rotating retracts really looked cool, and I fly off grass.
Although I do grease 99% of my landings.
