i talked to someone who saw the prototype fly at an event in early august and he said it took multiple cycles to get the gear to come up all together after it took off.
if i'm not mistaken this is possibly the only top rc plane that you have to buy it with their retracts.

You are mistaken, when I bought my TopRC P-47 you had to buy their retracts at the time.

Yep...I was one of the impatient fools who bought TopRC Model P-47 with mandatory bundled retracts. Early adopters had to take the "detracts"; against better judgement. As expected, detracts are junk - look decent, but junk nevertheless.
If the TopRC Model T-28 was offered without retracts and if the Electrons designed for the Tomahawk Aviation T-28 fit the TopRC Model I would've been first in line for the kit.
Hard to find happy long term TopRC Model retract fans, conversely, Electron & Sierra have many happy repeat customers!
