Default RE: E-flite F-86 Sabre 15 DF ARF

The landing gear installation went without issue. The wing holes were pre-drilled to install the latches using the supplied screws. The wheels spun freely on the axles and the mains fit well in the notches under the wings. The steerable nosewheel, fuselage mount, and bellcrank all seemed solid and turned nicely.

Although I'm not a fan of fixed gear during flight, the F-86 Sabre really started to look nice on the ground! Perhaps after the initial test flights off pavement, the gear mains can be replaced with tanks for grass landings and the nosewheel can be replaced with a hook for a mini-bungee launch.
