Eray2012,
Go to Tower Hobbies and or Top Flite website and down load the manual. I did this before I pick-up the ARF. In the manual they show the fix or pneumatic retract set-up. I don't see why you could not go with mechanical retracts. As for me, I went with the air retract. On my maiden flight I had to do a gear up landing because I forgot to put the screw back into the servo arm on the retract servo and made a text book landing on the belly with no damage!!! Now I have over 15 flight on her and I love it!!! If you go with mechanical retract, we want to see pictures of your set-up!!!
Also, welcome to the P-40 Brotherhood!!!

Rotating mechanical retracts are an S.O.B. to set up. More than likely you will need a servo for each unit.

I have them in my old H9 Corsair, been flawless for years now.

I know they would be hard to set up, I may just stick with solid gear until I can purchase the nice retracts! Thanks again for all the help, If I purchase the p-40 I will be joining the brotherhood!

I bought a TF .60 when they first came out and put robart 615's in it, nothing but problems and belly landings. I sold her and bought another beginning of this year and put in the century jet retracts, more expensive but worth the extra $. My new TF .60 warhawk comes in about 12lbs and putting mechanical rotators would be a headache and to me not worth saving a few extra $. Put a good set of air gear in her and avoid the belly landings and frustration.

Following a lot of trial and failure with the 1/7 TF P-40 Warhawk lower cowl decal, I decided to try my hand at some custom art work and paint it myself.

Texan2;
Let me the first to say Welcome to the P-40 Brotherhood. Its to bad to hear you lost the one that was 15 years old.. You will love the ARF. It is a good flyer. Your dad did a great job on the build that you lost. That is great to hear you love to kit build. I think that is one of the beast part of this hobby!!!
Let us know how your build goes!!
