Hi All,
I am in the process of building a Bolton Paul Defiant scale warbird with a 72" wingspan, powered with a Saito .125. Weight might be up to 13 lbs.
I now need to source a decent retract system for this model but struggle to decide as I am missing some good advice..
Has anyone some recommendation to what kind of retracts to go for? So far I have looked at some springair systems, robart system, an Eflite 60-120 electric system (

https://www.ebay.com/itm/33197938577...53.m1438.l2649 ) that seems to fit.
I earlier got a recommendation for a springair 103 system, but this one seems a bit small compared to the one on the drawing despite it should be suited for the weight of the airplane. I have tried to contact springair a few times, but gets no replies from them.
I am tempted to go for the electric Eflite version as it seems less hazzle is involved.
The plan specify Oleo struts? Are Oleo`s really necessary?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
