   Before we go any further on the retracts and other wood pieces, now is the time to fit the front retractable
landing light from SSM Technik. This goes just ahead of the front retract unit and runs with a small micro servo
with super bright L.E.D. on 4.8 volts. Adds a nice touch to the model.

......
  Looking in from the top the unit is shown here. Comes with self adhesive cutting template to the install a snap!
Here we show the front retract servo and mounting plate dry fit at this stage. I like to tack everything until I am
sure everything lines up with retract unit itself. You see some of the epoxy work done, but only as far back
as the second bulkhead... this way I can remove the main retract bulkhead for any final adjustments and fitting.

......
   Again, dryfit  pieces show rear most bulkhead fitted. Also shown are the main retract servo pieces and fuel tank
wells. Fuel tanks will be mounted upright in these wells, which happens to be right dead center of the mainshaft. As
fuel is used, balance remians unchanged. More on this later in the build.

.......
    Front retract is in place waiting for final glue up. You can adjust the height of #18 bulkhead to adjust nose gear
angle. Standard servo is used here with heavy duty arm.
