Hi Guys ,

re the ball link, Just a suggestion!
Throw the Plastic link supplied away and fit a J:R Heli link Instead .
It is far stronger and does the job well .
You will have to open up the hole in the center very slightly to allow it to screw on to the threaded rod .

If you are going to continue to use the retracts suppilied, watch the part of the linkage arm that restricts the leg from exteding to far and binding on the wheel well.
This part of the linkage is made out of very inferior light material which Is not suitable for the job intended, It bends all by Itself under spring pressure .
This results in a hung undercarriage and will burn out the retract servo .
mine lasted 4 flights before this happened with a new leg
