RE: P-51 Retracts
I used these there electric and screw right in to the stock retract holes,from LADO tech http://www.lado-tech.net/proddetail.php?prod=60-1they plug in to your reciever, they come in 2 sizes for 5/32 and 3/16 struts, the ones I used were for 3/16 size wire struts.
I then used the 7/16 Robart offsetstruts, there the larger ones, had to do a little bit of modding to shorten the spring for them to work, and I also lowered the retract mech.into the wing by about 1/16 so the wheel tucked into the wing better, with the stock wires they fit without any mods.
I also made wheel wells, and strut channels,to replace the plastic wells
