Yep. Looks like they wised up. It's actually just a plastic insert but better than wood to metal...

Now I have the EF and it's at least as good a flier as the 260 was. Quality easily goes to the EF over the H9. I would recommend the EF over the H9.
Mine has 50 flights and it looks like I've had it for years.Covering coming off I 'm on my second set of wheel pants and the way they mount the cowl sucks.The plane flys awsome though.There lucky it's more important to me how a plane flys and not how it looks on the runway.Oh ya gear plate came loose also.Over all though I like the plane and did I say it flys AWSOME.

Really? I have the new 50cc Extra 300 and it seems like it's ceramic.

That's weird. Seems like ceramic would be brittle...The ones I saw looked like plastic.

I agree, Quality varies from one plane to the next with hanger 9. Got alot of their stuff. Get one flawless and another total crap. Like friday afternoon buzzer beaters or something. Just need much better QC. Have EF stuff and quality is top notch. Waiting for the 123"
