Agreed. I used the conversion kit because that's what they provided for the review but a double wall with a bell mouth is definitely a better option and Joe makes high quality products.

Per Greg, this isn't set in stone yet, but they will possibly be sold again through Boomerang and HeliDirect.

I figured that's where you saw it, so I checked with him. He said in the FB post that they are "looking" to carry them. I'm sure they will, so stay tuned!

Electron are a nice retract on that jet, I have the same set on mine and the mini t-1…..

if your bouncing, it’s because your either touching nose first or landing too fast.

Also Talk to JagRC they import the gear in the USA

Never nose first back wheels first this is the only jet I have problem with the bounce , but I might be landing too fast but landings look good from my perspective .
