I am reluctant to take them apart without some idea of what I'm doing.
I decided to build with fixed gear. To change I'd need to hack out the mounting plates I've already fitted and make up new mountings.
Is the excessive retract travel really a problem, particularly on a proof of concept model?
Doesn't this just mean they will tuck up a little further into the fuselage?
