drube, The kit is coming along well.  I first got this kit and started it two years ago.  I found retracts from airbourne-models  that were made for this kit for $25 and decided to try this mod. Well after tinkering with fitting them into the wing I laid it down for a few months. Came back to it. Got frustrated with the gear fiting again and picked it up again about two months ago.  I figured out the gear finally and now have the wing about 99% built.  I'm just ready to start the fuse.  I'll post some pics and maybe a video of the gear working when I get off work today,  After 2 years I'm definately happy with the results so far!</p>
