I'm working on an US 60 right now....same reasons as you, wanted to go the flaps and retracts option on a tail dragger. This is my second build and I am happy with how it's turning out so far.....other than it's going so slow. I work in the garage and it gets hot out there in south Texas! My first build Was a TF Contender....Was "sorta" like a fictional scale build. (which just means you can't get it wrong) It would have been a good Tail Dragging retract conversion to have done, and has a large center flap for some fun landings! I guess I'm saying build the Contender and an US and you will be ready to start real scale builds.....or at least that's my plan.
