Just finished the build for the FT Master Series P-51. I wanted retracts as we do not fly at a grassy location and prop strikes are common for belly landers.
I will attach the modified wing svg that I used. There is not much room for the depth of the retracts and I wanted to avoid moving or cutting the wing spars.
I used the Horizon 10-15 Size landing gear system and slightly bent the rod so that the wheel would just clear the wing spar.
The tail wheel is a leftover from some plane and is glued into the rudder. Time will tell how it holds up.
Looking at the close up pictures. I realized just how much extra glue and crinkles I let slide on this build.
Paint is next. I am thinking the Miss America scheme for this one.
