Colin Hooper Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have had similar problems with e-flite retracts in the past. It has happened with all sizes and in different models. As you say, they always stay down when you want them to but it reduces your confidence in them. I eventually replaced them all with other manufacturers products. I never discovered why they cycled so if anyone can throw any light I would also be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyD Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 thx for that Denis had a read through so re checked the connections,and found one that was taped rather than having a proper connecter on it,it seemed to have pulled out slightly but wont no if its sorted until I fly it again.
