Great work as always Luke!!
Where are people deciding the best location to install the fill valve for the retracts as well as the on/off switch for the radio (as to keep it hidden as much as posssible) ?
I worked on my CJ retracts all day Sunday and finally have got them where the wheel would lay flat in the wing without the 4 inch wheels being skewed to one side.
I'm getting there, slowly but surely !!

John, Thanks bud! Where your valve is located is up to you. I'm still working on my installation so I can't show you pictures yet. I have a retractable tail wheel as you know that has it's own air cylinder, so locating everything in the wing would have been of no benefit. Also mounting everything in the fuselage I was able to keep it all ahead of the CG. With the detail I've added I can't afford to have anything mounted behind the CG that can be mounted further forward. I usually mount the switch inside the fuselage and run a small wire outside. Not sure where I'll hide that, I'm just getting to that point now so I'll have a solution soon!
Hal, wait up!
