    Freewing F14 Retracts

    Hello. I have one of these birds and love it. But I I have recently seen a post somewhere about some re-tracks for this plane that are all metal casings instead of the plastic? Anybody know where I can pick these up? Or are there retracts from another plane that would be a direct fit into this F14?
    thanks

        As a winter project, I was going to get the JP all metal retracts with the 5mm pin but the holes in the retract mount won't work with the F-14. I'll go with the Eflite ones and drill out the trunion hole. So far, the stock nose retract is holding up OK since I've figured out how to land it properly. The mains, however, are still a bit under-designed for such a heavy airplane.

          Definitely good to know what I might need as I build my plane when it arrives.
