I have plans for a Hawker Hurricane Mk I, wingspan 1,78 meter ( 70"). The drawings are from the UK and a firm called RC Model World. The scale is 6,93/1 (1 3/4" =1" ) , lets say the scale is 1/7 to get more even numbers. The drawings seems OK in general, but there is one flaw, they have omitted the landing retract mechanism. I manage to get a sketch, or rather a perspective drawing, impossible to take any measurements from, of the mechanism used in the real thing and my intension is to build it that way. If it is a scale model then it is a scale model. Does anyone have any experience of this?, I saw earlier in this thread a guy who was building a 1/4 scale of a Hurricane and he had a scaled down retract mechanism of the original one. Does anyone know of him and were to find him?
