Default RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

To the best of my knowledge, the 109 tail wheel retract raised vertically via it's shaft only a little bit, but didn't rotate up, nor was there an enclosed area (clear of the fuse slipstream) that the wheel was ever even partly concealed in. like the fw190. By having the wheel slightly raise, it eliminated a small degree of drag, but very little.
