Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Question: Getting ready to install the retracts, I have 2 sets. A brand new old stock set of Rom-Air and a set of Century Jets, both are at 90 degrees when extended. Trying to decide witch ones to use but also wondering if they will be to far back, the Hellcat had a bit of forward rake in the gear. They were not at 90 degrees, for those that have installed the Century Jet gear did you modify the mounts in any way or did you just install them on the stock rails? Richard looking at your plane I can't really tell when it's sitting back on the ground, did your plane want to nose over on grass at all? Having 4" tires is definitely a plus.

Thanks for any input,

Dion
