Hi Alan
My Fw190 kit should be available soon, the 190 retracts that you see will be available for it, via myself or Kingfisher aviation.

Blimey, that was quick! Do you have the other bits too? airlines, valves, bottles, connectors etc. I've already got my YAK retracts but Chris won't let this be my last Willis Warbird build

Hi Alan they are for 1/4 .5 or 1/5 just the leg length is adjusted, I/4 would need a bigger piston etc. Paul at Kingfisher should have the prices for them early next week, they were only completed Wednesday and prices have not been finalized yet.

cheers Dave

Working on the Yak today making a rear hatch, and moving servo into it to drive the tail wheel, now works a treat. :D
