Don't buy the Hellcat. I have one and its a maintenance nightmare with those rotating retracts. Any kind of landing that is not perfect will result in bent parts and/or the need to adjust the retracts. It flys great but the retracts a such a headache that mine is going in the next auction. I understand from all my comrades at the field who have Hanger 9 60 size birds that the retracts are problematic regardless of the bird. But, at least the Mustang and P47 etc. that do not have rotating retracts should be a little less hassel than the Hellcat. And yes I do fly off of pavement so the runway is not a excuse for such poor quality. Thanks, Jerry.

BTW, I do have the Hanger 9 150 size P47 which appears to have higher quality all the way around than the 60 size birds. I have not flown it yet so I can not comment on the long term viability of the retracts in this larger Hanger 9 product.
