Not many vids of Hanson flying, one of the most accurate pilots I've had the pleasure of flying with. I've seen him do this with a raptor

Very kind words Dave, thank you. Nice work on the retracts John, will we see it in action soon?

After some tweaking! (throws!!!!!!!) to get the movement correct (not binding) on these retracts was a lot of trial and error tbo but sorted now. i must say i am well chuffed with the result, i ended up using the Eflight electric retracts (EFLG230 15-25) as drivers, they do come with other throws than 90 degrees. the handy little axle shafts that come with the kit, came in well handy, i knew i'd find a use for them lol. i do have a spare EFLG230 retract set up for grabs cheap!) anyway some more pervy undercarrage vidio to watch, sorry boout the shakey hands!!!

enjoy cuppa

thats going be ace to see in action

[Cuppa]

So now we have retract doors! i still have to finnish the paint so thats why there are cocktail sticks sticking out, thay will be cut when i'm happy with the tension on the door pulls, seems to be prety good so far, the tyer blisters are made from a Tropicana orange juice bottle, the bulge in the neck is spot on for size (top tip)
