Blue,

I debated over this one for quite some time. In the end, I passed due to my suspicion that the proffered retracts were not up to snuff. Seems like that is a recurring theme among all these so-called "high end" ARF warbirds; crap retracts. Of course, the warbird enthusiasts at my club are quick to point out the various after-market retracts that work, hold up, etc. Perhaps; but it seems a bit ridiculous to me to pay more than the freakin' kit cost for a decent set of retracts. And these are the guys who think I'm crazy for paying as much as I did for a 9Z???

Anyway, thanks for the report. Glad to know I probably made the right decision...
