I dont think the wheels retract on small planes like that ;)

aerobatic planes = small, light, not particularly fast

retractable wheels would add weight for no particular gain at the speeds these guys fly.

Up until now thats ok, but on RED Bull London one of the pilots, said I need a faster plane, they need to retract the wheels to reduce drag, I can see a new plane comming out.
