Kevin,
I have had the gear in my hands and it looked really very nice quality and designed for this one, not a quick and easy solution ; as for me, I do not see a reason of any kind (yet) why to change to another set. I expect, judging by the size of the wheels and oleos, that this plane will not suffer from any rough landing strip. Besides, a few pilots confirmed already this bird lands at walking pace so I think you really should abuse it before it hurts in the wallet. I assume you'd rip out wooden bulkheads first before damaging this gear.
I'll post lots of pics of this kit and contents next weekend.
PS. The other pilots are for the time being at JetPower, drooling for more, so they will be silent for some days !
As concerns transportation by car, the size of the (single) carton is 45 x 48 x 148 cm (2,54 cm = 1 inch) so it is hard to believe the whole plane comes out of that single box, so should not be a problem to tranport by car. In the worst case, you can take off the front of the fuselage by means of those 4 bolts.
Nicolas.
