I'm always amused when I see the whitewalls on some German tail wheels. They really weren't that rare; there are a fair number of surviving pictures that show whitewalls. Cool.

Will the retract mechanism be a servo or an actuator?

I noticed that also. Seem like there are more white walls then not?

I took an old 120 size retract and converted to take an actuator

Well let me tell you Took over a week to get that all sorted out. Anyway managed to get a little done here and there. Had to redo the entire bottom of the aircraft. That square bottom wasn't doing it for me. Not very scale.

Also exhaust is reworked. Just need the right coat of paint.

If it is, I remember it at the old ASRCM field for engine run ups. Have photos somewhere, Sandy probably has a copy as I remember his hat blowing back on his head from the prop wash.

Yes it is, I got it from Jim's wife after he pass away. Boy that wasn't yesterday. I still think of Jim now and then, he was a delight to know. Actually Randy built it and Jim got it from him. Or something like that. It's been in my shed for a long long time and it's time to put it back in the air. Although I haven't had much time for it lately.

I'm seriously impressed by the degree to which you were able to reshape the bottom of the fuse. That could not have been easy!

Thank-you for the kind words Mike. It wasn't too bad to do. Now the in board flaps and the wing tube, that was HARD. The flaps are on going.

Here's some pics. Retracts are pretty much build and the new plates are installed. Soon time to button it up.

You do good work! As an aside, met Jim's widow a week or so ago...re-married, living in Woodlawn. She asked about just about everybody, strained me to remember where guys are now...
