Kyosho was a fiberglass fuselage. It's like a miniature of the real thing. The GP and the Hangar 9 are identical cheap third rate replicas. As far as the retracts, I always apply extra epoxy to the mounts as you would all retracts. it flew great but they are naturally tail heavy and you will have to add nose weight.

I think its disgusting that hangar 9 or GP would invest in design and R&D and turn out nothing more than the efforts of a stik.
