I have made a start on mine. The quality looks good but not sure about the retracts. The air lines look like 1/8" and the fittings are similar to festo. The 2 way valve looks poor and was siezed but I have managed to free it up. There are no quick disconnects for attaching and removing the wings. I assume you have to use the festo type fittings to facilitate that ! I was thinking of changing to 1/16" air line so I can use robart quick disconnects and a decent 2 way valve and fill valve but not sure if you can get 1/8 to 1/16 adaptors for the retract nipples.

I have replaced the hinges with pin types and will replace the supplied linkages with 3mm threaded rod and clevises

What turbine are you going to use Dave ? I have not decided yet.
