Bigtim, Im leaning toward those Lado retracts that you linked, What else would i need to purchase to have the complete retract setup ready to install?? Do i still need to purchase the Mains wire and Strut Covers? I want to have the scale P51 offset Gear.Or is that not possible with those retracts?
I am going to use these for my Hangar-9 Mustang,and my TF build

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...9&I=LXMRP0&P=K for some reason I cant find the wire struts to use as a example for the Mustang you need one of each.
for a realistic gear get actual struts not the plastic covers there useless and just cover the gear wire struts.
if you wanted to use the wire struts you can purchase them separatly from Tower, there cheap you don't need to buy a full set of gear to get the wire's.
all you need to use the struts with the LADO's is some 3/16 wire and cut it to length about 2" or so, to fit into the struts and the gear for a connector, after I cut mine I heat treated them for hardness .
