        Great video. Really cool twist on the subject

        • Does this come with electric retracts or are they an upgrade item to purchase separate? I ask because the description doesn't mention them, yet the "Spare Parts" link lists them and the "Upgrades" don't. I don't want to order them if it comes with them, but if not I'll order a set.

          Also, do the stock struts fit the electric retracts?

          Thanks!

          • It does not come with retracts. The XWave retracts that Motion RC sells are a good fit and work well.
            The stock struts fit in the XWave retracts.

              • Like I did with their He-111, I've been making my own landing gear, though I'm first making them in 1/6 scale, maybe scaled down for this later. Nose is done, assembling the mains now. Cool bird regardless.

                    The XWave retracts do fit but are not a good choice. The nose retract is no where near strong enough and will not last.

                      I attached a trailing axle R/C Jet Oleo strut to the XWave front retract....then added a stopper to compress the Oleo Spring and prevent it from compressing 100%.....otherwise it was too weak and caused prop strike.....Fly from well manicured grass field....no issues at all.
