I have two tailwheel retracts I considered for this kit. The Robart 121 and the CJM mechanical 1/7 Top Flite P-51 forward retract (like the real plane). They are about the same size and the Robart has a greater sweep. The CJM will need a little work to smooth out the texture on the plastic parts, but is well machined and made. Below are the pictures of both showing them in the up and down positions in case anyone else is considering which unit to buy.
