Yep it's a great flying plane, I have one. I can confirm there is a problem with these retracts. I'm not talking about fails due to poor landings. They seem to fail electrically at random. I have another Corsair and a couple P40's they all have similar rotating retracts.These are the only ones I have that seem to fail randomly. Have purchased at least 4 replacement sets, you have to buy them as complete sets at $40 a set. Absolutely one of my favorites that I have never crashed except for several harrier type belly landings caused by a random retract the refused to lower. Now that Horizon bought FMS I doubt that we will ever see any fix for these retracts but i'm sure they'll raise the price. Yep, just checked and now they are $50 a set.
Loved the look of this model. But in the end, I chose the Strega over this one due to the reported issues of the Corsair's retracts as a weak point of the model. Do you happen to know if RocHobby / FMS made any improvements to the design? I would love to get this plane.
Derick Aquino This is my second one and I can't say I've experienced the retract failure.....yet. I too have read this same thing, but I have a feeling it could have been a bad batch. Keeping my fingers crossed.
One of my favorite RocHobby planes. Had to have another one.

Good videos but I wish you'd post some flight vids too. Would love to see and hear about your FMS T28 1400 silver
Adam Hampton coming soon. I went a little wild with my T28 and slapped a 6 cell in it with a 100 amp ESC. It's got break neck speed now.
Where can I find one of these
Does rock hobbies have a Malcolm hodded p51 b mustang
