1700mm Mustang retracts

[TiredIronGRB]

I bought the 1700mm Ferocious Frankie when it first came out. The first set of retracts failed on maiden and Motion ended up replacing 6 sets of mains and one tail gear.

If you do this mod you won't have any more issues, I have done this on all my 1700mm FMS birds. You can get the controller here.

I bought the 1700mm Ferocious Frankie when it first came out. The first set of retracts failed on maiden and Motion ended up replacing 6 sets of mains and one tail gear. You can imagine what the wings looked like on my new $450.000 plane after 5 months of failures on takeoffs and landings and self replaced parts. I found out through this nightmare that my problem was the metal case around the gear mechanism was too flimsy so the output gear got sloppy and wouldn't engage the retract mechanism. I reported the problem to Motion and they finally got out a functional retract though they never admitted the gears were faulty. After a lot of squawking about my beat up Mustang, Motion finally sent me a new set of wings.Of course the wing replacement was for a 1700mm Corsair. I told them I would accept that anyway if they would send the rest of the Corsair. They promptly swapped out the wings.I have purchased three different large foammies from Motion and only one of them was ready to fly without rebuilding. They have the worst customer care of anyone I've ever dealt with in 55 years of modeling and I believe they are corrupting the other vendors who have to compete with them. My P38 arrived with an inoperable aileron servo. I requested they send me a new outboard wing segment or take my old one back and repair it instead of me digging it out of the wing. They informed me that their policy was they only had to replace the $8 servo and it was up to me to rebuild the wing myself. After the fiasco with the P51 I wasn't about to rebuild another one of their planes. I was very happy to learn that Horizon picked up the FMS line and I hope they pick up Flightline too. I love my P38 and I am still flying the Mustang as well.

OMG.......your actually going to go on this rant again exactly like you did Oct 2016 on this thread where Tom bent over backwards for you. Just get over it.
