Bought for replacement on A4 Skyhawk. Would not have expected original to have been functional after the landing it experienced. Bought 2 units. One is fine, the other does extend and retract as it should but makes more noise and is somewhat jerky in its travel.

Fits good and works well. I wish it was more durable. I'm sure a hard landing will crack the plastic housing just like my original one -on my Bronco OV-10.The picture on the website didn't clearly show the Flats on the shaft. I was unsure if they were there and I thought I'd have to grind it down or buy another shaft. Luckily they were there.

the threads got stripped on my T-33 nose wheel servo. I replaced the manufacture provided servo with a Motion RC servo.No issues or adjustments necessary. Took the original nose wheel hardware perfectly. re-mounted perfectly.

Recently had to purchase a replacement for my Flightline OV 10. Order confirmation was immediate thanks I think to auto reply but, the shipping notice took three days. Are you that busy or are you that understaffed? When I went to install the new retract I found out the electrical lead was 4 to short requiring a servo extension. Not a huge deal but great customer service would have made the buyer aware of the issue before hand. Finally, the shaft had moved inward and had boundthe retract mechanism necessitating disassembly of the casing to free up the retract mechanism. I hope this is not a trend considering the cost increases over the last couple of years.

I installed this on an e-flite plane and was surprised to find the the rotation cycle was in opposite directions. Freewing failed to answer my inquiry for help. I then ordered an inline servo reverser from e-bay. It was sent from China and I had it in 2 weeks. It corrected the problem. I have yet to use it but it appears to be as well constructed as these things usually are. Pleased so far.
