I used the Spektrum 7040 retract servos, and they were a direct bolt in. I run them with their own 7.4v batt.

I think I don't have any more, if not less, than that. Mine is quite responsive on the ground, so I rarely have it on any high rates other than to taxi.

"The wheels (Tyres) rub, get stuck in the gear bays as they retract. Very tight fit. I'm surprised my RT88's haven't stripped out (or burnt out) !!

No the wheel wells are tight with any shimming or bigger wheels and require a bit of enlargement. I also fly off another field where its more of a prairie style grass and we cut it fairly short and...

I have already cut the front of the wheel wheel to allow for the forward shim of the wheels, but the grass is so thick it really hugs the wheels. Its nice to have the grass, but can be a bugger. Yes...

Yes I used the tank, but the lines I did not as I have Viton tubing for the tank. I believe the lines were good for gas though, but I can't honestly remember.

Ya throttle, if set up properly, needs a bit of speed to keep up with response desired but not an issue here. I hope your not going to 3d it :)

Paul, I think they recommend 80 oz servos, so I would try to stay with at least that. Speed isn't really a big issue. Don't cheap out and go with marginal servo torque as the plane and safety are far...

I think I used about 3mm wood shim under the back side of retract. I wanted more, but then due to the angle of bolts they would bind.

I put tri stock around the entire box to the firewall and painted all joints with epoxy trying to squish it into the joints. I did inside the engine box as well.
