David,

You're right, of course.

1) I must have been brain dead when I wrote the question yesterday, the pneumatics I have are not MK's, they are Rhom Air's...[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

2) Since there isn't allot of room in a Dirty Birdy fuselage, I thought it would be easier to use mechanicals. With that being said, If I don't get the MK's in time, using the Rhom Air's are not out of the question.

3) I cannot answer this question, because I don't have them yet. I have a set of MK trike gear retracts, but I'm going to use them in my Illusion if I can ever find time to finish it.

Thanks for straightening me out....

David
