I went with the 2 1/2" Dubro Low Bounce wheels for the mains and on the nose the 2 1/4" Dubro Super Lite Wheels. (Was the one i found stored in my boxes) 😉

i just fixed the situation with the nose Retract, i made 2 wood triangles and glued those to the base. That gives me the exact position to hide the nose wheel.
And to be secure i will cover the base with a coat of epoxy and fiberglass so the wood doesn't broke or separate from the base.

Wrangler, just thought I'd show you what I did for wiring. I used the connectors from Electrodynamics. As you can see, the motor pods only have 3 connectors on one side, throttle, rudder, and gear, and the other pod has 4, throttle, rudder, gear, and elevator. The ailerons and flaps will come out of the wing into the main harness. Then both harnesses have to be joined by wyes for the receiver. It looks complicated but labeling each wire is essential. One of my previous photos show just what you found in that the front nose gear does stick out a bit. Wait till you have to rig up the pull-pull system for the steering. I tried to put a steering arm on the nose wheel but there wasn't enough room without cutting away balsa. I will revisit the steering if I have a problem.

Your on it wrangler, as i believe the retract mount for the nose still would allow the wheel to hang out if using a 90 degree unit? As in one of the pics with the nose strut extended, it has a fair amount of rake to the rear being its 105 degree so the wedges are a perfect fix. I received my Robart order today so i also can start on gear install. Ill post pics as i go through the setup.

I didn't realize that the Eflite nose gear had the flange opposite of the action, unlike the mains where the action is between the flanges. My nose gear hasn't arrived yet, only the mains. I will be interested to see what James has when he shows the Xwave nose retract. The nose gear retract in the manual looks nothing like the E-flite unit. Thanks for posting detailed pics of your solution. I'm gonna start working on the same.

I'm planning to leave my wing attached to the boom when disassembled with all servo leads running through the wing to the fuselage. Then using the multi-connects between the wing and the RX. When transporting, I'll have two wing/boom assemblies, the horizontal stab and the fuselage. Anyone foresee any issue with that set-up?

I'm jumping between ideas, and now a bunch of silly questions but i need opinions.
What engine should i use for this plane?
- Rimfire .55 (46-20-480kv) or
- Predator (4258-kv460) the one that the FMS F7F TIGERCAT has.
Also what prop too?
- The Eflite 3 Blade 12x7
- The FMS 3 blade 13x9
And what ESC is better?
- Predator 85A ( installed on the tigercats)
-ZTW MANTIS 85A ( recommended by MRC)

I have the Rimfire 55 in a 7.5 lb Phoenix models Spitfire and with a 5S battery, that puppy moves. Unlimited vertical. I like the FMS 13x9 T-28 3 blade prop. Especially with the Rimfire motor. I think it looks like a turboprop prop. I will absolutely separate the stabilizer from both booms when disassembling the bird.
