    Dynam BF-109 retracts not stagard

    Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone has recently purchased or has a Dynam bf-109 cause I purchased one few days ago and I notice that the retracts are not stagard like 45 angle there stait down and only 4 inches apart. And I know it's going to be hell to land. my friend has same one only 9 month old and his wheels are 11 inches apart like a V upside down. Don't want to bend them purchased from motion rc they say it's OK and I know it's not cause the video of Captain Mike flying same bf-109 and his is stagard like a V as well, any help would be appreciated thanks and have a nice day.

    It sounds like it has the wrong retracts in it. Mine is older and it also has the”V” look I think they are 75 or 85 degree travel.

      Should be significantly more spaced at the wheels than the retract trunion when they are down.

      I had the Dynam 109 and it is correct that they have closer to 75 deg motion than 90 deg.

        Thanks farmflyer and fhhuber, I knew that I wasn't crazy I'll see if motionrc helps out with the situation and correct the retracts problem there pretty good people there so I hope. I can fly but no way can I land with the retracts at 4 inches apart. Have a great day guys and thanks for the response.

          I checked the retracts should be 75 degree travel.

            What to do if I bent the metal on the retracts?
