Default DC-3 retracts

Is there anyone that has a set of retracts for the ESM DC-3? I have the top flight but they are too small, I'm wondering if the Ziroli's would be too big

You are welcome, they make all my landing gear needs. Most recently helping me come up with a Fowler flap jack screw system which had to move it 6.375".

@Airega: As far I know, there is no producer of such size scale DC-3 retracts on the market.
I solved it by a DIY retract, the link is here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/twin...gear-plan.html

They do not look like they have any looking features, to keep them where you want them? Be ashamed to spend all that time on the model only to have it damaged to save a few bucks1

Thanks Loud, I will be sending them off to Bruce so he can work his magic, we've already spoke of the gear.
Thanks for looking out, Loud.

Your welcome, Love the hobby and appreciate those that love to build their models as well as fly them. It is painful to see someones work destroyed or badly damaged !!
