Bill McCallie's Me 109 Platinum

         

"The 109 only took one pound in the nose to balance the model. It flies like a pattern ship, takes off with little to no rudder as long as you come up slowly on the throttle." Bill made the tail wheel retractable and used a small spring steel wire to close and open the tail wheel doors. Leverage is the answer... Look inside the tail wheel bay and you will see a yellow tube. That is nyrod holding a braided cable that is used for the hinge.
