Default RE: H9 60 Size P-47 Thunderbolt-Build & Flying

I just finished and flew my Jug Saturday. WOW! I think it easier to take off and land than the other Hanger 9 warbirds. Good flying airplane. I have a satio 100 with an onboard glow to keep the idle down - mounted engine as instructed. With two batterys up front and servos in the tail - the CG was right on target. I am having an issue with one side of the gear not wanting to retract in to the well when retracting in flight. I have to get the gear up at slow speed - I think it's hitting on the back side of the well. It works well on the ground so I think it's just the wind pushing the gear back just enough to make it not line up. I think I may have to spend the money and replace the gear with robart retracts. The belly pan was like the ones listed in this post - formers fell out and the paint is not fuel proof. The covering on the plane was very good, not one wrinkle. I think this plane is a great flying plane that looks good - glad I got one.
