    Status: offline     		davham,

    Just picked mine up yesterday, got it home and gave it a thorough inspection. The overall quality of this kit appears to be great, and other than a few minor wrinkles in the covering, I see no major flaws.

    The retracts appear to be of good quality having metal frames. The pivot block appears to be of black delrin. I am going to look at using mini air cylinders instead of the retract servos to activate the gear.

    Will try to post a few pics tonight. I have a NIB Saito 150 sitting here that I will probably install in it, but seriously looking at that Saito 200 TI

    Status: offline     		i have looked it over very well,and i don't think the WM can even compare to the quality of the hangar9 stuff. i have had a few of WM'S .40 size planes,and they were good kits,but i really don't think it is comparing apples to apples. the retracts look strong,but,i may look into air as well. i have a set of the gold century jet retracts gathering dust. i was going to put a 4-stroke on mine,but,these planes flew fast,sothat is why i choose the 1.60fx. besides,these big 2-strokes,with a slimline pitts,sound about as good at speed as the 4-strokes do. and,it would take an awlful lot of 4-stroke to make the power,and the rpm,of the 1.60fx. especially since i don't see the logic in giving $675-$700 for a 140dz! later

    Status: offline     		Thanks for the pic's, looks good. If one was to build per manual, do you think it will come out at the suggested weight or lighter. Please keep us posted on all progress and if you run into any snags.

    Thanks
    Dave
