If you have any questions regarding the plane, retracts, or engines please drop us a line, we will gladly help you out. As for the retracts, I find them to be quality for the price. The biggest issue with them is the air valve, we recommend customers replace these valves with a quality valve like that of a robarts, or you can disassemble the valve, check for any burrs/metal shavings and check to ensure the o rings on the valve are still solid.

If you run into leaks with the gear, they can all be fixed, a little oil goes a long way with these o-rings. If oil will not solve your issue, all of the o-rings in the system are user serviceable. If you still cannot solve an issue, give us a call and I can either help you through it, or you can send them in and we can try and solve the problem for you.

As for engine choices, the aerovate is a good little engine, and most of our customers have been very happy with the dle 30's performance. If you have any questions regarding this, or any other esm planes please feel free to drop us a line.
