- At the last meeting of MAAW (our local club here in Westchester north of
- NYC), a P40 with electric retracts was displayed. The builder was
- really happy with their performance, very scale. They go up and come
- down slowly, like the real thing. They cost about $140, and run off the
- battary already in the plane. I think they were made by KWI, but i can't
- be sure. If people really want to know more, i will have contact the
- builder to ask questions. I am new here, and i don't recall peoples
- names.
