Status: offline 		hi, I am building an embraer nitroplanes. The instructions are incomplete. There are many problems in the kit. However I believe that the paid price is worth. I will advise after the first flights.

Status: offline 		I have one and it flys fine. It's a little under powered for me (Eflite Power 60 - electric), but is a great flying plane. Lands very fast even with full flaps. I have Spring Air retracts on it and they work great. No problems so far, just need more power. I may have to go gas on this one.

Status: offline 		hi, beautiful the embraer in photo. The kit that I have bought is not predisposed for the retractable landing gear. Will Nitroplanes sell it in the future? Will be possible to only buy the wings? Does someone know? Regards

Status: offline 		It wasn''t hard to add the retracts on mine. If you want one with retracts installed buy a KMP Tucano.

Status: offline 		Jeff, thanks for the answer. I knew about kmp, however incredibly expensive. Please let me know which type of retract that you have installed and what procedure you have followed. Rgds

Status: offline 		I installed Spring Air retracts for the mains and nose gear. You could also use mechanicals, but it would be more work on the nose gear. The wing install is easy just install the blocks and some light ply. The nose gear took some creativeness to get them installed. I used an old set of gas engine mounts to install the nose gear on. Went fine after that.
