I started this corsair last December and then put it away for a while. This is the first model I've built with action pieces and the tail wheel assembly was the first I added. I've had a hard time figuring out how to attach the fixture that the plans call

for which locks the wheel when in the raised, and lowered, positions.... help from anyone who has built this model would be greatly appreciated.

I too started this mid last year and decided to practice on the Spitfire first. I didn't like the tailwheel mechanism either and I decided to go with a locking pin going thru the fuselage. Didn't work out all the details yet though. The main landing gear mechanism works well, just be prepared for a patient tweaking and fitting session, same for the folding wings. Hope to see pics of your progress!

Yeah, I was thinking about trying something similar, but just haven't been able to figure it out yet. I've got just about everything else completed, the landing gear are working, they were a pain, and I've got all of the moveable surfaces working, but I decided not to build with folding wings though.
