Awesome except for the nose gear. Easy fix and lasts longer if you replace the retaining pin with a piece from the axle of the 64 mm f-16 easily bends back in place without snapping like the original did on second landing, which was decent so really pissed about hat pin snapping.But she is an amazing flyer none the less. very happy. Can’t wait to maiden my new 90 mm v2 f-16

They need to be a little stronger, and easier to replace just the component that fails. They bend way too easy. My landings are not perfect, but these should hold up better than they do.

Fitted brand new and randomly will not drop the front gear. I have checked all connections are tight and no different. Swapped back in standard from gear and that’s working perfectly. Looks like I got a dodgey set.

I bought this set and installed it. It appeared to function fine in preflight checks. Took it up and had a great flight. Dropped the gear and came in on final in high alpha to land. Greased the landing, then on rollout the nose gear collapsed. The retract has no grab anymore, so I'm guessing it was a defective worm gear. Worst of all, Motion RC said they do not cover items that have flown. That is understandable, but I probably won't be buying another set of retracts from them. Luckily, I have the original nose retract still. Just be warned that they will not back their products.
