Here is another take on upgrading the standard Dynam ME-262 retracts. It started by replacing the struts with Hobby King sprung Oleos. I then needed a way to attach the doors but did want to attach directly to the struts as this often causes jams due to mis-alignment. I needed a "floating" attachment method. Once you start you may as well go all the way. Hence the addition of the small doors to close the door bays completely. Here, I wanted to avoid extra door servos so came up with a simple spring door using small elastics that are used on orthodontic braces. All rather silly, or just Plane Stupid.
