Freewing B-17

[dkalwishky]

MotionRC has the Green Freewing B-17 back in stock and I'm thinking of ordering one. Anyone here have one? I've read a few things in other forums about the landing gear being subpar, those posts were from 2014.

Hi dkalwishky

The retract gear have been upgrade in the beginning of 2015 they are really nice at this point. Pretty much as good as they are ever going to be. They hold up well on side impacts unlike the original ones did. This plane is a great flyer and super looking in the air flies like a kite. The manual is normal chinglish but will get the plane together just fine. Not you will have to sets of 2 esc you want one set to go to the ineer motors and the other set to the outer motors when you set this up. All in all a great plane to look at and enjoy to fly.

So what does the new set of retracts look like? I got this B-17 right when it came out, and yes I had to order a 2nd set of main retracts.
