I would first do what bobripley suggested......get the rules from AMA and read and become familiar with them FIRST......
by the way, what everyone else has said is right on the money. Very good advice!
Bob Violet makes a set of mechanical retracts and Robart has Robo Struts which match up quite well.
I have acquired a partially framed Gold Edition P-51 this past month (I bought out an aquaintence's r/c stuff) with this retract/strut combination.....it looks very good.
I won't finish this plane because I am locked into the aircraft of WWI. If you are interested shoot me an email to [email protected] I am sure we can work something out.
Welcome to the world of scale competition! Like Dave said, the people are what keeps bringing me back! Great bunch of folks!
Cheers,
