  This is a Pair of Scale Retracts for the Top Flite DC-3 Twin Engine Aircraft.
They are designed to look and function much like their full scale counterparts
on the real airplane. This retract unit has two front legs with scale-looking
cross-braces, and hinged at the midpoint to allow the gear to fold up.
The third leg is a Y-shaped part to stabilize and brace the gear in the
extended position. Each leg has hinged mounting plates at the top and the
retraction arm near the top of the left side main leg.
