the only reason I don't have one of these fockewulfs is because our club had a guy like me who only flies warbirds and he had a flop tite p-47 that had air Robarts in it with a shorter strut that the fockewulf and he would come out and fly it till the retract would not work correctly. then put it up till parts came in and do it again.the problems he was having were the structure of the retract would bend with each landing, and his landings were perfect.
im an ME and the design is not optimal, by a long shot! I looked very hard at buying the kit and moding it to fit std retracts, but correcting other engineers mistakes is a terrible way to start!
just my opinion
