I love the plane I bought this for "t-33" but man the landing gear is a definite downfall of this and many if the freewing planes . There was hardly any glue holding the landing gear support to the wing . The landings I have had with this plane were not hard at all and the wing landing gear have both ripped out causing other damage . Ugh ! Just saying . These aren't cheap planes guess I kind of expected a little more quality for my money . I have bought 6 of the freewing planes in the past year ,and have been flying for 30 years . Just saying . I'm still going to buy your planes because they are fun to fly just telling you how I feel lol .Thanks Steve F

Good retract for Saab gripen, watch the gear up switch on the ground! Got a sequencer installed to prevent the problem from happening again, recommended.

Fortunately, I have not used this retract (yet). Hope I never have to. Purchased as a "just in case" item while they were in stock.

The non-metalic case lacks the strength to support a model this heavy. Have broken two cases within the first 10 flights while operating from asphalt. Not excessively hard landings. Recommend using a metal actuator case.
