Big Daddy, I'm still putting the plane together, so I don't know about the nose over problem yet. I don't think there will be a problem because I have taken off and land many warbirds, including the F4U Corsair, without any difficulty. I'm hoping to get this plane up in the air next weekend. I did not install bigger wheels because I didn't want to cut the two ribs on either side of each wheel.

Darryl Usher, 95° is better than 90°, and the retracts look very strong. Having retracts is better than having fixed gears. I have seen C-clips, pins, and scissors popping loose on other units, so rivets might not be too bad. We will see.
