| This was a much simpler idea than whatever the heck it was they were telling you to build in the directions. I just built something like this for my tail wheel and it works great! Thanks for the inspiration. Nice job on your corsair too, I like the Royal Navy scheme. I'm actually converting my guillow's F4U into a goodyear F2G super corsair. Been fabricating a lot with it. |

This photo shows the latch in the closed position. It can be rotated to allow the the wheel to lower and then rotated back to keep the wheel lowered. |

This is a duplicate of the latch I made t to hold the corsair's tail wheel in place. |

| Nice!! A difficult kit done well. |

| Please do so, as the Mig-3 I am building has a retractable rear wheel. I would love to incorporate this technique into my Mig. |

| I drilled a hole in a 1/8 by 1/16 stringer that I added to give the tail a little more shape and then slipped a piece of wire throgh the hole and carefully bent it into kind of a lopsided U shape. One end of the U is about 1/4 inch and the other end is long enough to span the width of the wheel well. I can reach in with a pencil and rotate the wire when I want to raise or lower the wheel, and then rotate it back into position to lock the wheel up or down. I'll try to post a photo when I get into work tomorrow. |

| Nice job!!! You've given me inspiration to finish mine now that I'm mostly done with the Spit. What did you end up doing with the tail wheel? |

| No, it's way too heavy to fly. Someday I'll make one that does. |

| I'm very impressed by the level of quality of everyone's planes. There are really some very impressive models on the site.
The Corsair is beautiful.

| Very nice looking Corsair. Nice colour scheme too, different to the more common US Navy blue(s). |
