Retracts:

I'm to the point I need to buy some myself and have decided to wait on the new e-flite 60 size electric retracts...They "look" good...I love the thought of NO extra equipment needed except the retracts themselves....No airtank and plumbing or No additional servos and linkage to deal with...."Plug and Play" so to speak...Kewl!! [8D]
I like the theory and am looking forward to seeing how they actually work...I'll buy a set when they become available provided I can afford them at that time...

Just thought I would mention them just in case you were not aware they were on the way....Here is a link to a video on the small one's which are currently available:

(You'll notice late in the video he gives a little hint about the larger retracts... )

Spring Airs would be good that's for sure...

Have Fun...

Chuck
