Thanks for the info.

Those are the ones I have.

We fly from a 600 plus ft paved runway so any bumps in the landing will be from my shoddy pilot skills, not from the gophers. So if I have to buy new gear links.. then it's my onus.

When you say that the rails need to be parallel - do you mean that the rails must not be twisted from left to right or front to back, and that they rest on the same level plane as each other - per side. (how is that for a confusing definition of ' parallel '?)

I guess I see what you mean because the housing is pretty thin. My first thought is that this can be tricky for the Wing Kit as it uses a foam wing where you need to route out the foam and insert the plywood supports and rails for the retracts. I guess I will need to be very careful in this part of the construction.

I have been putting off building this bird because I had such a bugger of a time building the Wing At-6 with mechanical retracts. That thing came out as the heaviest pig in my hangar. We likened it to a Christmas Ham.

Bleh- Starting to think that maybe I should sell the whole lot and just focus on my TF Spitfire MK IX.
