Wild Bill,

I am going to use Robart gear. I picked up the COMPLETE robart kit brand new in packages (pumps, tanks, struts, wheels, air gate, etc.) for $50.00 at a swap meet. They are the rotating units that rotate back into the wing - similar to that of the F4U.

From what I have seen on the plans the tail wheel may have to remain a fixed unit. Which is kind of a bummer as I really wanted to make it retractable as well. I have seen a mechanical retractable tail wheel from Robart that I might be able to use.
