“During gear extension the retract sticks at the midpoint of the extension cycle, sometimes completing the cycle, other times not.This is the second unit purchased showing the same issue.”

“This retract was bought to replace the same unit in a Freewing F-=86 I had bought at a Swap Meet back in February. The first time I flew it, when it landed, it ran off of the end of our short runway and the nosewheel folded . I bouight this unit which is the exact same retract that was in the F-86. I this case , on my very first takeoff attempt, the plane was almost ready to lift off when it ran our of runway and went into the grass. The nose wheel colapsed again. The sides of the thin plastic case the trunion rotates in just split open. Just like the first one did. I do think it should preform well on a smooth hard surface runway.”

“This is the third or fourth one of these I have purchased since I started flying this jet in February 2nd... now it's mid-June. I guess I am hard on the nose-gear on my Freewing F-86. The plastic case of this retract unit cracks when I pound that nose-gear into the runway, forcing the locked extended gear into the gear-up position.. (I have had a couple of CRASHES, too.) I can super-glue the case, but I will again bust it on the ground. Maybe having the nose-gear snap shut is better than causing actual structural damage to the fuselage. ... at about $12, these are a super bargain. They simply drop-in to replace the OEM unit.”
