Default 4 Engine -- C130

I am currently building a C130 w/ 4 Saito's .30's. The wing is complete, Fuse is almost complete, but the vertical (not folding) landing gear is an issue. I have built a retract for the nose wheel, but have nothing for the mains. The retract firms I spoke to either do not build it or,, (REALLY Big $$$$). I have decided to retract nose and leave down mains. They only extend partially below the fuse by about 1".

Hopefully it will fly this fall.

There are 8 servos, 1 rec, 1 bat, 1 switch in the wing.
The tail has 5 servos, 1 rec, 1 bat, 1 switch.

I know about splitting controls, but disassembly and travel made the current setup requried. I flight tested every component except engines in other planes prior to installation.

Any helpful suggestions? Thanks vettdvr : :spinnyeye
