Turbo Jet no front gear

[Hippie 64]

This is second flight of my Dynam Turbo Jet . As much as I love the look of this plane I'm ready to give up on it . On the first one the wing folded up on its maiden flight and MRC gladly replaced it . This it the replacement and the front gear didn't come down . I didn't know till it was about to touchdown . The wing is very thin where the gear mounts . Easy fix and I have a spare front retract but just getting a bad taste for this plane .

I really like lots of the Dynam line but would like to see them tweak a few things with their mfg.

RE: Turbo Jet no front gear

This is a known problem with Dynam models and this is why I just replace them with metal trunnions as soon as possible.  Motion carries some that are reasonable priced.  However, I usually get a very good set from Philip at PW-RC.  He has a wide selection that is not expensive.  I think I got this set for my Tempest for about $22.00.http://www.pw-rc.com/index.php/cPath/137?osCsid=f63d8bea50a99d0e971d6192399ee60f.  I hope this helps with the gear problems.  Dyam's has a 3mm pin for the servo retracts.

Well I tried it again and it folded up again !!! It's ok this plane is my nemesis . Alpha if you read this please pass on to Dynam that the wing needs a Spar added to it . It has no support in it .
