The landing gear retraction mechanism, which was chains/ sprockets and cranks were lifted right from the Leoning amphibian (IIRC) and used up to the F4F Wildcats. I read a article about when the F4F's launched off of the carrier, you would watch the Wildcat weave and wobble as the pilot cranked the gear up which I think was about 60 turns of the crank in the cockpit. There is no mistaking Grumman heritage in the lines of their A/C. Nice Model by the way!! John M Oshust 24-Mar-15 16:35 Wow time passes so quickly. Rotunda was built in 07. I cannot believe I have been gluing my fingers together for that long a time! JohnG. 24-Mar-15 17:46 The Barrel/Cigar is a beaut!!! Please sign in to comment on this image.
