One of the retracts on my Miss America Mustang colapsed (on takeoff beleve or not!) on the first flight of its life. I called Airborne and without hesitating they said send it back for replacment (to my suprise I must say). I sent them back with a note asking them to please upgrade the gear. It is well known this is a weak area on there otherwise quality product.Well I received in the mail today a new set of retracts. Ya see guys customer service is not totally gone. Thanks Airborne!!!!!!

Hi Jerry
The tires are 2.5" and I fly off pavement. Im having a small problem getting it balanced to where it will land better. It seems to be very tail heavy and gets real sensitive in pitch when I slow it down to land. I moved the battery again, this time right in front of the servo tray. Ill try again thursday. Dont get me wrong it does fly well otherwise............

Hello Jerry

I would think twice about mounting a G-38 on the G.S. P-51 from World Models. See my posting under Warbirds and Warplanes, dated 2-17-2001.
