Charlie Cheetah Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've only had one of those sag one me, the second of 3 Hornets built. Purely my fault I am sure from over adjusting them when I first attached them. They almost always need to be adjusted though once everything is in place, just dont over do it.

phantom Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Never a problem with the 1/48 Hasegawa kit. Over ten built. Only my 1/32 Academy has sagged over time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunliner Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've got a Hase F/A-18D that's been sitting on the shelf about 5 years now with no sag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have one of trhem on the beanch right now. I couldnt afford any of the aftermarket gear sets. What I am thinking of is securing it to a base to keep the gear in place.
