The holes line up exactly where Eflite retracts do. These replaced the Eflite and so far so good.

These are very sturdy electric retracts. They are heavy duty but I found they require 6.5V on my UBEC to reliably operate.

I had 1 eflite 60-120 retract that was failing. They are charging 80 bucks for 1 retract, so I bought one of these. Everything looked the same, except the hole pattern where you screw them into the wing. I could either plug the old holes and redrill and dig out a bit as the alignment was off, or maybe I could swap the innards so that I don't have to redrill. So after close inspection, they looked so close, that I thought I would try to just swap the Innards of this xwave clone with the eflite. Low and behold, they were an exact fit. I put it all back together, and now I have xwave innards with eflite shell. everything fit so exact, there are no issues. If you take it appart, you do so at your own risk, but it works. If your buying these for a new plane, just know that your pretty much getting Eflite 60-120 retracts for half the price. They are the same build quality, with quality aluminum shell and the mechanism is a drop in fit and exactly the same as eflite. So for value you cannot beat these. only the hole pattern and mount is slightly different. The holes in this are smaller. and about 2.5-3 mm off of the eflite.

bought this to replace the front retract in the F-4 Phantom because the stock ones break every single time I fly it one way or the other it breaks,, been through 17 of them in a year,,,,, these are nice and smooth real quality but to be used as a front steering -- there is no way to have a steerable pin unless you make one , you cant drill a hole through it,, you have to figure it out useing the allen screws. still working on it.
