the retracts look great. disappointed that mounting screws were not included (either with the retracts or the aircraft)

I really like both the aircraft (Avro Lancaster V3 "Dumbo" and the retracts. I'm disappointed that it's taken over 3 years to get the retracts, but glad that they finally arrived (I recognize that there were supply chain issues)

Items work great as intended. Took nearly two years to get them, so hope I don't need to order spares due to breakages.

Nice option for 'Dumbo'

Should have been included with the Lancaster up front, but a relatively inexpensive add-on. Should have included the necessary mounting hardware (properly sized screws).
The mounting blocks on the Lancaster are not adaquately glued in place. Both broke the glue joints just in taxi testing. The oredrill mounting holes are too small to readily get the (aftermarket!) screws in. Stripped the 1.5mm Allen socket heads several times before learning to force a screw in and out several times to pre-thread the holes. As it is they are never coming out again.
I have yet to actually 'land' it to see how well the gear holds up to impact.

Good Product. It's a shame that the supply chain is so weak. I'm sure that HK can do better. Too bad I've been excluded from free shipping. Based on their shipping costs my purchases of HK products is on a really need basis. Three times the cost of the item for shipping is terrible. Not an incentive to continue doing business.

These were installed without any major problems and they seem to work as advertised.
