Freewing Electronic Retract for 5.1mm Diameter Shafts - Type C Reviews

4.2 Rating 60 Reviews
Really low quality junk. Breaks under the easiest conditions. I have broken 3 of them and will not buy another one. I am an experienced RC pilot of over 30 years and have never experienced anything like this.

This is the 3rd one I had to buy. The unit works fine but the pin is too weak and snaps / breaks easily.

My question is what is the metal swivel rod made out of to allow it to break after only a hand full of landings. (none of which were very hard)It's a pretty nice idea for a nose gear retract but the swivel rod needs to be tougher...a lot tougher.

I have replaced two and they don't lock out and get loose after the first landing.
