Zero 322, need some help on my retracts for the WM zero 60. Got hitec retract servo and it burned out before the maiden. Should i just lock it manually and never use retracts or should i go for the JR 791's<div>

I used the JR's in my H9 Hellcat and I had 2 of them go bad on me, a total waste of money. For smaller planes they might be fine, but for longer heavier gear retract servo's are no good.



I just got off the phone with Dave Platt, I didn't bother telling him who I was and that I used to go to their club meetings and talked about his designs and scale models a few times when I lived in Florida. Anyway, he would not sell me a Zero cowl or any parts at all, he only sells semi-kits, that is all he kept saying. So if you damage a canopy or cowl of a Dave Platt model you have to buy the entire semi-kit to get your part! This could be really bad if you buy a second hand Dave Platt model and it needs parts. Sooooo, what to do?
