Acdii, I put the 60 size 90 degrees E-Flite retracts in my chipmunk. They are scale so the rotate back toward the trailing edge. I had to reinforce the spar since I cut through it to make the wheel fit. I also had to bend my own struts since the electric retracts wouldn't allow the wheels to fully retract. I heard E-Flite has 90 degree rotating retracts now so they might fit better.
Still trying to figure out how to post photos...anyone?????anyone???? (Bueller....Bueller)
Thanks, Ihave them on my wish list now. Ihad originally planned to put my Magnum 91 FS on it, but my Mustang is further along and needs an engine, and the 91 seems to be a pretty good runner for it. So, depending on swap meets and sales, I dont know what motor will go it it, so it will sit until then. Istill have plenty to work on in the meantime, a 4*120, and the Mustang, and I have a 52FS that needs a home, so maybe a SIG Cub.
