Default RE: Hangar 9 T-34

Not good news in any regard... I took it out today and it never even got up to speed... First was the 46 motor and the 10-6 3 blade prop... Not gonna happen... Next to no power at all... After I switched to a 10-6 2 blade I got the power back but then the wheels started turning... No, not the nose wheel, the mains... The Hangar 9 40 sized retracts made for this plane... The struts are turning in the retract itself... Going down the runway with the speed coming up and bam! One of the mains turns right or left... I know people will thank I mean the axle or one of the parts you can tighten with a set screw but I assure you I don't... This is where the metal strut enters the plastic retract assembly... I actually have a spare set and when I got home I checked them all... 5 of 5 do it and once you turn them 1 or 2 times it becomes extremely easy to move them around... My guess is that Hangar 9 heats the struts and presses them in but who knows... All I know is that no set of gear I have available is any good for this plane... The fixed look even worse than the retracts... They look weak and flimsy...

Anyone work around this one yet?? Sure could use an idea or 2...
