Mine has Likeline electric retracts which are STRONG but HEAVY!!! My P-51 weighs ~40 lbs and I have a Quadra 75 in it which flys it okay but I have a 100 that I intend to swap it with. It has been ~12 years since I built this one but something I had to repair twice is the tailwheel. My tailwheel mount broke loose or more specifically the bulkheads that the bracket mounts to, broke loose from the fuselage sheeting/stringers. I would definitely "beef up" this area.
