Hi All

Since I'm going to put the retracts in a more scale position, I'll post a pic of the internal construction. Its not as bad as I thought, some pretty good reinforcement.

What I am going to do is put the gear with the correct forward rake and move the gear forward towards to LE . This not only gives the model better ground handling and less potential to nose over, it also retracts and sweeps back as in scale.

The forward rake has worked well on all my 109 over the years and gives you a chance to avoid nose overs.

Steve,

What do you plan to use to replace CMP's covering material ?
