    Freewing a10 80 mm nose gear retract only

    I need help to figure out what the part is I need to order to replace the nose gear retracts. I dont need the wheel and down structure. Only need the servo. The black plastic is all cracked. Thanks,

    You need a 17gr digital MG servo - possitive with a 600mm cable

          Oke, because your first message states:" i only need the servo". Also i was refering to the servo that makes steering the nosegear possible not the gear Doors.
          Then you need this one..

            That’s the part. Thank you very much. I’ve ordered the plastic one. Do these parts come in metal or is plastic better as it breaks versus the foam plane?

ID:	418038 its cracked and wobbles when set in place. The plastic housing is the only thing that needs replacing. Everything else works fine. That’s what always breaks.

                    The metal u shaped piece. It was factory installed. Will see what happens after next few flights.
                    do you stack your batteries or position them end to end in fuselage?

                      No, behind one another.
