Default seeking advice: Retracts for a Kyosho p-51D

I'm currently shopping for retracts for my Kyosho p-51D. The guy at my local RC shop seems interested in selling me some EZ size 40 Mechanical Retracts. Well, I thought I'd put it past the professionals before I invest any money...If anyone out there has had experience with retracts in a Kyosho p-51D, I'd greatly appreciate hearing what you might have to say...

The EZ retracts work very well. Had them in a OK Zero for about six yrs till I finally piled the plane in. They're in the homebuilt in my avatar for the last four yrs. No problems whatsoever.

Yep, the EZ retracts work well with very little play. Great Planes mechanical retracts, which are very similar to the EZ retracts, also work well too.

Sorry about the sluggish reply...I've been away for a few days. With regards to balancing the Kyosho p-51, I'll check the manual when I go into work today and let you know ASAP....
