Hi Brothers;
Big Brown just left this on my door step!!!
I was not to open it until a week from today, because it will be my birthday, but I had to take a look!!
This is the ESM Spitfire Mk.XIV/XIX, 72'' wingspan ARF. It will be power by a 35cc DLE35RA engine. Have yet to come up with a set of retracts for this bird. Any help from the Brotherhood on the gears to go with, will be a big help. When I stat the build, I will post it here. Just looking inside the box, tell me this is going to be a sweet build!!!
This did come from Troy Built Models and the shipping was $84.82 and this was not bad for shipping 27 LBS!!!
Thanks for any info on the gears and like I said, I will post the build here!!

Sonny-
I have the prototype Century Jet retracts in my plane. They have worked flawlessly for four years now with no adjustments. They are rock solid. Here are some photos. they are a drop in install although I would put some fiberglass on and around the rail mounts for the retracts. Hope this helps.
