Basically dropped right in with no modification ,love the setup simple and works great.
Got rid of all that linkage and servos .I will post some pictures soon.
Hi,
I know this is a older post, but i stumbled on it when i was googling for my retract problem. I recently bought a Funkey/Century bell 222 and it is a real PIA to get the the retracts working mechanically . My servo's are always binding when the retract are deployed; it just impossible to make them work without binding.
In your post you said you are using the E flite retracts; did you use em in the 30. size or 50. size bell? Couldn't really tell from the pictures. It's been some time now that you posted this solution, do you still use them? ever had any problems?
As i see it, i will have to make some modifications because the screw holes don't line op with the original one.
Looking forward to your
experiences
Kind regards,
