I am curious if any of you warbird people have had any experience with the 60-120 size eflite electric retract. I'm wondering how they are on bumpy grass runways? The field I fly at (especially right now is very dry) is half dirt half grass or sorta like grass probably more weed like. It's mowed and kept clean but can be bumpy.

I bought a set for a plane (not a warbird) that could be setup for solid gear or Retracts. But I have recently heard bad things about these retracts on non paved runways....

Thanks!!

They have been nothing but dependable for me. I love them and have NEVER had a problem and only fly off grass. The optional struts make them even better. I have the Hangar 9 p-47D and I just cartwheeled it today. Completely my fault. It ended up breaking the aluminum piece that the strut screws into. Horizon doesn't sell parts for it. So it is likely I will have to buy a single unit. I will be posting to see if anyone has a totaled unit that I could get the part from.

My Feedback: (1)

I can't say anything about the Eflights quality, I have not yet bought a set,, but I can tell you that there are complaints of sorts for most other brands too (note my key word there "most", but not all ), this includes Robart's and other higher costing brands, even Lado's,,,,,, that's the hobby


there are guys that will recommend Eflight and ESM Generation 4 units,
