Hey sturtz,
I our club only has grass runways as do most clubs in australia that i have been too....
I did reinforce the landing gear area with 1/4" dowl, but i won't play with the mounts till i get the retracts from lenny. Foam core wings are ok, you just have to make sure you spread the loads out further than in a built up wing that all. Having said that, the polystyrene used in this wing is some of the lowest density i have ever seen[:'(], which doesn't help the cause.
Haven't done a whole heap because i'm still putting the finishing touches to my Mustang, but i did finish sanding the fuse and cowl, and have started gluing polystyrene foam to the fin/spine area to see if i will get away with enlarging that area.
thanks
dave
p.s. i do get good discounts on flights but can't pass the on, sorry
