Retracts and FW 159? Any one have any ideas

[jwood]

The struts on this plane come out of the fuse. And they come out of those little bitty doors. Does anyone have any ideas how I could set up retracts to drop strait out of the fuse? http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/images/fw159-3.jpg

I like the idea of the robart air piston retracts but these don't appear to just hinge down.

You might look into building a rack and pinnion setup. The electric motor to run the pinnion and the rack attached to the landing gear strut.

I was thinking something along that same line.
