Option for fitting retracts.

As shown in the following pictures the foam has been

pre-cut to allow for the installation of retracts. There is

not a bespoke set of retracts made for the Flycat. They

is a good selection on HobbyKing.Com or you may even

have a set in your workshop from a redundant model.
