Guys,
Well it seems like a few are having issues with the Main Gear, In any case, for those that Love this model and don't mind those reports that we can't determine if they are isolated cases or not and want to own and fly this large T-28 Trojan of the sky then, consider using Castle Creations BEC PRO!
I have this Castle Creations PRO in all my larger warbirds that have Electric Retracts, Flaps, etc.....etc....etc......
This will provide pretty much carefree flying for your larger aircraft needs short of having a traditional separate RX battery and switch harness.
