Question Top Flit 60 Size Spitfire Retracts

I was wondering if anyone out there has used eflites electric retracts in a Top Flite 60 Size Gold Edition Spitfire. If so which ones.
I am looking at eflites 60/120 (EFLG500) Retract
and not sure which length strut to use

Chucker, did you buy your retracts ? I researched retracts for 9 months (because I do things slow) for my .60 size P-40, I come to see that Eflight's 60-120 size retracts have no more complaints than retracts selling for twice the price, I bought the Eflifgt's for my P-40,

as for struts, keep in mind that Efligh uses a 5mm shaft, so if you buy Robart Robo Struts you will need a 5mm drill

Thanks for the input, No I have not bought them yet, I am also very slow but than I'm in no hurry. I have decided That I will buy the eflite 60-120 and wait on the struts until I am installing to see how things fit together. I may go with eflite struts as well.

the Eflight struts are pretty neat, and super light, but you can not shorten the Eflight struts much more than a millimeter or 2. I know, I bought a set and I had to send them back!
