Two more flights for this one today and shot hat cam video of both. Kind of noisy on the 2nd video as the neighboring drag strip was in full swing today.

Sold a couple of planes so I can buy the Avanti. Two last questions before I pull the trigger. Do I have to use the 4000 pro or is the regular admiral 4000 fine? What's the difference in fligh time between the two?
the place were I fly has a weird configuration were I can take off a paved road but need to land on the grass field. Most of the time the field has big holes ( no idea what animal or human is making them) so I prefer belly landing my rebel rather than loose a retract. Could I belly land the Avanti?

I would say yes to belly landing. It has a ply spine running the full length of it's belly.
As for battery I run 5500's in mine and get around 4 minutes.My YouTube Videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrz...4Q-xrOOtP2C-8w

I run a 4000, 4000 PRO and a 5000. Get a bit more flight time with the 5000 of course, not much if any difference with the PRO vs the regular. In the future, I'm thinking 4500 would be ideal. If I ever dump the 6s system in the Tomahawk, CB uses these and WOW!! Plus the'd be great in the Spitfire and any other 6s bird lay my hands on.

I am the champion nose bender of the AvantiLOL
My gear doors, which have been broken and reglued and reinforced, don't close too badly, I had to play with the spring and also, I had to crack the fuse open and repair and reset the plastic gear mount, Check to see if that is loose. What happens is that the gear cannot pull the spring all the way down and the spring keeps the gear from fully retracting.

Looking at the picture again, it DOES look like the gear is not retracting fully, I'll bet thats your problem.
Out with the knife and the lighter fluid. The lighter fluid will soften the glue but its a wiggle and pull process that took some time. If you go that route, check the piece over and make sure that it's not cracked or damaged. Use some IPA to clean up the lighter fluid and reglue it with Gorilla Glue. You don't have to crack the fuse completely, just back far enough to get that piece out.
I'm eventually going to get another one,probably the kit version and put the motor and whatever into it, once I've got the hang of landing her. I'm a heck of alot better than I was thanks to the boys at Nefi, but every once in awhile I do a Grossman landing. The guys at the field don't even get excited about it any more!!
