they ripped off the hangar 9 design... and made it worse.
The retracts are garbage, and the plane is about 10-15 oz heavier then the hangar 9 mustang.
However, they fly very similiar.
I would just get the hangar 9 marie because it has better hardware and the retracts are crappy as they are lightyears better then the ones that come with the ak-models (they ak-models don't even have set screws! to adjust them)

Ordered WM 60 Petie 2 Mustang Sunday night online from Airborne Models (damaged box) 169.99 Got it today just unpacked it and it looks great, . It looks so much bigger then the Dago Red. I have an OS 61 and 90 2 stroke available not sure which one to use, but I guess thats another thread. Thanks for the coments guys...

I agree the retracts are garbage. I, therefore, ordered a set of Hangar 9 retracts that they repersented as an upgrade. The actuators had more slop in the actuators than the initial retracts, but the struts were much better. I've ordered GP struts from Tower and am planning to mate them to the original actuators. I'd like to simply purchase a quality set of retracts if I knew the what and where. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Mike:
I called Horizion less than a month ago and explained I wanted an upgrade set of retracts for my 60 sized P-51 and the retracts I referenced are the retracts I I mentioned and were shipped. Perhaps your sales personnel don't know about the retracts you are referring to.
