RE: Parkzone Warbird Comparisons
Before the FW came out, I spoke to a fella in the Horizon Hobby R&D department and asked him why the Mustang doesn't come with landing gear, either fixed or retract, since many flyers enjoy ground take-offs and controlled landings. He said that when they were first testing the plane, they tried to make it with landing gear, but found that the addition of landing gear weakened the wings so that during "hard" landings, they would break at an unacceptable rate. He said that they thought about mounting the wheels to the fuselage, but quickly gave that up since it would ruin the appearance of the plane.
Since there are quite a few low wing planes with wing mounted wheels, I would think that Horizon Hobby could re-design the Mustang / FW / Spitfire to come with retracts. Kyosho makes a mustang with retracts, so I would think PZ could do so too.
