Thanks for all the info guys; I am not building a TF SPit yet so I will just keep an eye on this thread and plan ahead.... as much info as possible on the retracts, including pics, would be great. I'll try sending a pic to see if it goes through..... love those Spits. Do most builders use Monookote to save weight? That takes away from scale details you can add but the flinal weight is more important.
