DIGGER Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 I'm trying to find some retracts for my Parkzone FW190 , the ones for it are no longer stocked EFLG 115. Has anyone got an old set, perhaps in a crashed model. There isn't any replacement as they are 10-15 size 74deg, I would settle for 80deg if I could find some . If not can 90deg ones be modified. I would like to add these are available in the US but shipping costs rule this out. Any help please . Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Whisky Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 These any help? https://www.nexusmodels.co.uk/e-flite-15-size-90-degree-main-eflg1590m.html If not, I might have a pair. They are angled but I don't know to what degree angle as it's not marked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIGGER Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Thanks Eric for your help, I looked on there site but drew a blank. They are mostly 90deg and out of stock. I can get 90deg units it's the 74deg or closer that is the problem. The annoying thing is Horizon hobby in the U S have them in stock but can't post them to me, only inland US ,if they could the shipping and import duty will double the price. I'm now looking into seeing if I can convert a 90 to 70 deg, if that's possible. Thanks again. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Robson Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi Chris, would you need to convert a 90 deg. I would think the only difference would be when the wheels are down. The legs on the 190 angle in over when down so 90 deg would make them hang straight but will be ok once retracted. Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIGGER Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yes this is a valid thought ? one worth considering if I can't find any. Looked into converting a 90deg one and its alot of hit and miss work. Thanks for your reply Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIGGER Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share Posted February 19, 2022 Just an update on this. I have found the original one's in the UK. They were in a model shop that is closing. They only had 2 now only one left. These are the older model EFLG115, 74deg retracts, for the Parkzone FW190. 43" W.S . If anyone one wants the last set PM me and I will give them the contact information as the shop has closed and the stock has been removed. Thanks for all your help with this thread.
