I am building a zero. Robart electric retracts with 5in robart wheels. The wheel is interfering with the gear door linkage? The gear door had pre-drilled holes for the control horn. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just make new hole or try to bend linkage so it's not interfering. I didn't use TopRC solution of closing small flaps, made it servoless similiar as original plane had.

5" wheels are a tight fit. You'll have to make some adjustments to get them to clear the door linkage.

Sometimes you just have to step away and reevaluate the problem. I was able to dremel the tip off the the gear door linkage and tweak the control rod. All is well now and working as it should.

Hey Mike, where did you get the electric start unit for your Saito from?

Kind regards,

Craig.

And the cowl mounts to the baffles... really clean....:-)

Today I've tested engine first time after the crash and repair. It started in first attempt. I got also new pilot, it' only 1/6 scale but quality and appearance is amasing.
