Once I got the gear doors mounted I took it to the field for the second flight. The ground handling was much better, and my gear came up without incident. The 26x12 prop pulls it around at good speed, and it even moves out well at half throttle. I had something happen to the gear angles on landing, I'm currently working with Century Jet to get them resolved. If I can gain confidence that it won't nose over I'll be trying a 25x12 three blade instead of the two blade. Here's a couple photos of it with the new gear at the field.
