Hello All,
I'm in need of some good advise and from what I've seen so far this is the right place to get it.

So here's my dilemma, about a 1 1/2 years ago my family bought me a GP Corsair ARF for my B-Day, I finally got around to building it about 6 month ago (before I found RCU) needless to say they got the hobbieco retracts that GPs suggested :boxing: . At the time I was building it I didn't know that they were not up to snuff and installed them in the plane. Now the plane has never been put to flight THANK GOD.
Now the question that I have is there any way to beef up the retracts or am I just SCROOGED to the point that all I have is just a nice ornament to hang from rafters :cry: .
Thanks In Advance, I know I will get some good assistance :thumbup:

If you fly off a hard surface runway, I would give them a try, unless you want the bird just to look at which isn't all bad.

If you value your aircraft I wouldn't use the mechanical retracts, they just cannot hold up the weight! I'd rework the wing and add pneumatic retracts that CAN hold some weight. Or you could go back to a wire configuration for a cheaper route. Check my picture gallery below for a few GP Corsair pictures for ideas.
