RE: H9 60 Size P-47 Thunderbolt-Build & Flying
Oldtyme & Techsarge
Wasn't sure if there was any difficulty with the 511 Economy; I just assummed that there might be.
As far as the Retracts and Robostruts; Old Navy Flyer and Myself used the same set up, the retracts were the 'Robart 551W1 85 degree mains 3/16" wire(not Robo Strut ready) and we used the Robart 660 Straight RoboStruts 7/16"dia. We discarded the 3/16" wire struts and the robostruts fit inside of the socket on the retracts, normally to mount the wire gear, a 7/16" dia sleeve holds the wire which then fits inside this socket; we had to cut off about 3/8 to 1/2" off the robostruts, they fit snug inside the retract socket and are plenty long enough and work well, and have a more scale apperance.
I hope this clarifies stuff a little, this retract stuff can get confusing.
