Greetings Folks:

Here is another question from a newbie. This past weekend I bought an E-Flite Staggerwing ARF kit. (Not to worry . . . I have no intent to fly it for many many months until after I build up a g-zillion hours on a new ParkZone J-3 that I've got coming in a day or two, and likely a step-up model somewhere between the J-3 and the Staggerwing).

In fact I'm in the process of researching all of the bits and pieces that I've yet to buy for the Staggerwing (motor, receiver, servos, ect., etc.). I intend to add the retractable gear option, but I'm not completely taken on pneumatic system that E-Flite offers for the kit. I've been looking around for other options and that leads me to a couple of questions that I've not been able to find the answers to myself:

1. Does anyone know if the new E-Flite 10-15 size electric retracts will adapt to the Staggerwing? I've asked the good folks at Horizon Hobbies, but haven't got an answer yet.

2. I've also emailed back and forth with a chap from<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; ">SonicElectric who suggested that I might be able to use their non-rotating ERS Lander</span>Main Retract Set. Does anyone know of this landing gear being successfully installed in the E-Flite Staggerwing?

I will be most grateful of any guidance that anyone might offer.

Cheers.
