Just when I thought I had decided, you guys have to go and post conflicting information :-)

I've actually got some retracts available. While I was in Singapore I picked up a set of MK SS (20 size?) main gear. These were probably going in the P51. I also bought Supra 30 size mains that are destined for the DJ-3 kit I bought. The nose gear for this will be MK SS, because the EZ nose gear for the DJ line is not steerable. I think I'll be building the Supra before the DJ-3 or P51 so I guess I could use some of these and buy replacements later. Anyone know of a source of the EZ or MK retracts in the US?

One question, did you build them as tail draggers or trikes? I was leaning toward tail dragger to keep them simple and light, and because I've always prefered tail draggers. If I went with retracts in this configuration I'm worried about the drag created by the wheel hole near the front of the wing. It seems the trike configuration would be better for aerodynamics, but the extra servo and gear would add more weight.
