Looks good Mike. One of these days you're gonna have to let me fly it.
On the retracts, you can instantly take about 2ozs of unnecessary weight off them by cutting the steel struts about 1/2" down from the coils and epoxying carbon tubes in place. Less work on the servo also.
On the other hand, retracts on an electric are a cinch with this method. Just cut the carbon tubes as long as you need. The axle is also very simple piece of aluminum rod stock, bent and epoxied in place.
Good luck with it Mike

I'm actually building the current ones with ugly bulbous fixed gear
Although this thing is sweet with retracts. I'll try and get some in flight pics soon, right off the deck...
