Here is a question for those who are using CJ retracts in their hellcat: when you mount the gear into their ply retract housings, the air nipple that is on the side of the retract( not the air fitting thats on the end of the cylinder but the other one) is too close to the ply rib, making the airline wanting to crimp together. How did you overcome that? I'm thinking that you took your dremel to the rib and cut a recess hole?) Pictures would be great if you have them !!
Thanks!!

Hi old buddy! I'll answer that with what I did. You need to just Dremel out a hole in the rib and run the air line through the wing to the center section. From the root side just work a hole in the balsa rib with a Philip's head screwdriver (don't have to be pretty) if you don't have a long drill bit. Hope this helps!
