Adrian, Very nice looking plane and congratulations on making the retract work for you. Bob Muse Sr. was also quite successful with his for many years. I remember vividly the time he came to see me to give me a ride in it. I was getting close to flying mine and he came for a visit. I was watching him come in on final and when he got close to the runway the plane slid over to the left and took out a runway light, his prop, and a few other things.
His throttle cable had gotten stuck somewhere between flying and landing and he was working so hard to get it to work that he forgot to put the gear down until it was too late, then tried to put it down and lost control of the plane. Well, we patched it up and he flew home the next day on a prop that Gladys send him on the bus. I also have many stories about the stock retract that I will not waste your time with today and if there is anyone out there who needs some parts, I have most of two gear assemblies left which I will send to you for the price of shipping and one spring bar. I have been using the aluminum off of one of them for making parts. "There is a time for building and a time for FLYING, and the time for building has long since expired." See you in Mt.
