Default RE: Composite ARF Mig29

Hey there Craig,

Thanks for the pics, stabs looks perfect.

For now I decided to just stick with the wheels and breaks provided. I think the ones Peter is using are a tad bit smaller. I may see if he can do a set that are the same size as the ones I have? The kits now have the gear plates reinforced with carbon fiber as well as all the doors and areas around them. I Ordered Intairco's carbon fiber doors so that I could relax when cutting the doors out of the fuse and just cut the new ones to fit after getting the landing gear geometry set and positioned correctly as this will cause you to do minor trimming based on how your gear is intalled and setup. Adjusting the length of the main gear ram and using a shim is the sectret to getting scale angle from front and side views.

Looks like there is alot more carbon fiber reinforcing in the kits going out now but easy to do yourself on the older kits.
I will post a pic that shows the carbon reinforcing very soon.

Cheers
