Does anyone know of a good EDF out there with retracts? Or at least the ability to add retracts?

Thanks.
If you get it let me know.

You have some of the other nitroplanes right?

What do you think about the quality in general?

So far all the stuff I've gotten from Nitroplanes has been good value for the $.
Here's a review of an F-22 I did:

I like the new Airfield kits that Tony and flyboytha1 reviewed. Those look like I can hand launch at my flying field. I'm a little worn out dodging lightposts and trees at my work Smiley My flying field does not have a paved runway.

Have you ever looked at the glider launchers?

When I was a kid, I had a rc glider. You launched it by setting it on this little jig with stretched out surgical tubing. It had a little foot release lever to trigger the launch. (keep both hands on the stick - no running and chucking it..)

I will take a look at that review.
My kid still wants a 'jet'?? I keep telling him it will be hard to fly but he is set on it. I think I will finally cut the cord between me and the co-pilot on my heli and put it on the jet.

A couple of us have talked about making an EDF launcher w/ bungie like NightFlyyer has then leaving it at the field.  I'm thinking I'd just like to hand launch.
