RE: Mechanical rotating retracts
I just re-read the OP wants a mechanical set. I can't help with that.
But I'll post this anyways. A pneumatic set, very beefy...

If you don't want to fiddle with pneumatics, these guys can retro-fit a pneumatic set and make them electric...

RE: Mechanical rotating retracts
"A LOT depends on your flying skills: if you are able to land an R/C plane in the manner that full scales land (as in: FLAIR, hold it level, let it settle on runway), you are much less likely to encounter retract problems."
There is a lot of wisdom and solid advice in this statement. Spend the summer doing touch-and-goes with a sport plane with weight added to it until it has the same wing loading as your warbird. Forget 3-point landings and focus on 2-pointers. It will be time well spent. Your retracts will thank you for it!
Respectful regards.

I shouldn't give you this link so YOU can do the work and find it yourself.

On another note:
Seems to be a trend in America now days to let someone else work for it, but then again when you have a government supporting a movement that wants someone else to pay for it, it is to be expected.

It would take a leap of faith to try something from a retailer who lists absolutely nothing about the product, absolutely nothing but the name. OK, the name and the price.
Which .60 size P40 for example? And the site doesn't seem to have a P40 for sale either.
Amazingly dumb of them.

RE: Mechanical rotating retracts
I had some of those VQ retracts on a VQ 60 size P-40. They didn't get through the first takeoff on our grass strip. Just as the tail came up on takeoff the left wing went down, and nosed over and broke prop and the motor mount box. Turns out the plane had hit a rough spot in the field, (not all that rough) and the plastic case of the retract broke, allowing the strut to fold back. The struts had VQ oleos on them. Had to mount box and replace the prop. At Hobby People the retracts were out of stock. Plane was down for six months until the Lados arrived and I altered wing to fit them. I have some BH Models and new Hanger 9 retracts in the junk box. At least they have metal housings. If you want them I'll send them all to you for postage.

Just admit it's YOUR politics that are the problem here since I have stated NO POLITICS in any post.
Fact:
Seems to be a trend in America now days to let someone else work for it, but then again when you have a government supporting a movement that wants someone else to pay for it, it is to be expected.
There is nothing political about that, except for the fact you are taking a political position by deleting my post. It is a fact, not a political statement. If you don;t like it because you are a leftist too bad.

The "fix" for the H9 Corsair that does away with the OEM bent pushrods off one retract servo is in the ARF Forum. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7429324/tm.htm
