I second this statement. A buddy of mine had their P38 and flew it about 5-6 times and his retracts never worked. He troubleshot them over and over and could never get them right. He ended up selling the plane out of fustraition.

My vote is for the P47. I have the Model Tech P47 ARF and even tough the retracts aren't the best, I'll give the plane an overall thumbs up. Plus, it looks great in the air during a low fly by.
