Other question, how do you keep the wheel spats from rotating arround wheel shaft?. Mine has 2 screws through landing gear for avoiding rotation.
Finally I would like to advice that my Ultimate has broken twice the front left top wing support, I guess due to vibrations since both failures happened while using large 2 stroke glow engines (JBA 1.40 and OS 1.20). Has anybody suffered this same problem?.
Best Regards,
I am using Sullivan wheel pants brackets inside the wheel pants, as I want the wheel pants to be able to move some. As far as landing gear, I purchased them from Fiberglass Specialties, but they seem to bend extremely easy. Now the wing support I strengthened the mounting inside the fuse with G-10(fiberglass sheet material), but other that that mine is the same as yours. I will have to see how they hold up. Oh by the way I am running an OS 120AX
