RE: Nosen P-47 Build Marathon
X3 On your retracts.make a mounting plate frpm 3/8 ply cut it to fit between your ply ribs, mount the retracts to the ply plate then set it up in the wing but don't glue it to the wing till you have the settings you wan't. This is pretty tricky you will need both tires mounted on the retracts that way you can check to in. angle forward, and wheel laying in the wing. This is really time comsuming. but if you get it right the first time . it will be a lot easear. You will be supporting a lot of weight , so beef up the rib area. How big is the tire going to be? Sullivan makes a nice aluminum wheel and nice tire thats not real expensive. I don't know if they make one that big. Hope this helps. Rich
