Default cessna 337 Retracts

Still trying to finish up the build. Darn work is getting in th way. The nose gear has been more trouble than I originally thought but the Doors and Cowl Flaps (front and rear) didn't help any either - time wise. Made my own nose strut since nothing was available of the proper length (short) that had some shock action that had a scale look. Also modified the fuse to make it a P337H version (primarily windows).

I'm still planning on uploading some diagrams and photos. In the meantime here is a YouTube link to the current configuration. I added some sequencer programming to more closely render the speed and bobbling action of the full scale main gear during the retraction and extension cycle.
