I will talk with my production crew Georgi. I should be able to post a video of an example removal very easily.

No retracts for my G770.
Retracts are very cool but I still consider this ship a full on 3D machine and as such the added weight of the retracts would be counter productive to what I am trying to do.
The fixed tricycle gear is sturdy, stabile in all phases of ground ops and great looking on this airframe....and less weight than the skids...mission accomplished!
Still trying to learn how to make it "walk the dog" up on the mains only but because of the wheels it looks more like a "moon walk" because when I pick up one wheel and move it forward with tail pitch, the wheel on the ground rotates back and I end up walking in place instead of walking forward. Kind of like running in place, I have a lot of leg movement but I don't go anywhere.
To make the walking trick work better I need to tighten up the wheels on the axels so they don't rotate so freely, then it would work pretty good.

Retracts for me would come with a scale build....

=] you need a miniature OWB on each main wheel, but cmon, folding retracts are just plain sexy!!! you know I'm right and the seed is planted.....

Very impressive! I may give that a go at some point.

I ordered the lynx Omicron gel tape. I'll give that a try and see what I get on my 500se. Just waiting on my BE trade upgrade to be shipped from SK.

To be clear, it took some work to get it that low.. Lots of balancing, trying different main gears (logos are notoriously out-of-round which cause vibes), etc..

BTW I have both the thin and slightly thicker orange Lynx Omicron gel tape. I haven't tried it yet.

The thicker one has white paper on both sides. The thiner one has white paper on one side and a sheet of red plastic on the other.
