Ok, OK, You've
ALMOST talked me into it but I have to warn you and the rest of you faithfull thread followers, I give the word ''slow'' a whole new meaning....
Also, I bought my plane from rcpattern in the RCU Marketplace and it is already 80% done so there isn't alot of ''building'' left to do thankfully). It's mostly finishing, sanding and painting
Do you have any information or a web site for the Multicon Electric Retracts? I haven't heard of them before. I know Lado Technology now makes a nose gear electric retract with a stearing arm that can be either belly mounted or fire wall mounted, but I'm not too pleased with Lado at the moment.

David,
Kraft Multicon retracts were
the cool retracts back in the 80's (at least, certainly to me). They of course have long been discontinued. I was lucky enough to secure a couple of sets recently and although like other electric retracts they are a tad heavy, they are also very cool in operation. I guess the trick is to really build the model light so as to be able to end up with a reasonable AUW when using Multicons.
Let me see, I think I have a picture somewhere... Not very good but you get the idea. There are some old Kraft wheels on them which mate nicely. They work with an amp which is basically an armless servo that simply plugs into the Rx. You can run them off the radio pack or a separate one which is more secure.
I look forward to seeing the finish of your Illusion!
David.
