Status: offline 		 The Top Flite AT-6 Retract gear boxes are made of plastic and the mounting tabs will break on a non perfect landing.   This may cause wing damage.

I have designed an aluminum reinforcing bracket that takes the stress off of the mounting flanges and have made over a dozen landings, some off them less than perfect, with no damage.

I am selling these boxes for $30.00 including freight.    Just email me and we can set up a PayPal payment.

Do you think your reenforcing plate will work for the plastic gear in the other
Top-Flite ARF's like the Mustang or P-47?

Here are the dimentions. length, 1.75" : Depth, 1": Inside width, 15/16th: width including the mounting flanges= 1.75" Distance between mounting holes= 1.25"
It looks like it will fit from the pictures but I don't know for sure.

Check out the measurements and if it's close I could send you one to try.
