Hi,I posted this question once but didn't get a reply. Since I am kind of new to getting back to control line planes I wanted to ask the people who fly these, I received a Flite Streak plane that I am going to fly. I have an OS.40 engine to use on it. What prop size would you advise? Also what line and length? The other thing is that I would like to add landing wheels to this plane as it only has the front. Could anyone tell me what I would need to do and where would be a good place to mount the wheel,remove the single front and add something like what a Baby Clown has,or mount them under the wings somehow. Any help would be appreciated. FB.

A LA 40 will be way too much for a Flight Streak. Lots and lots of guys are flying them with a Fox 35, 10x5 prop.
IMHO A LA 25 would be best suited for a Flight Streak.

As for landing gears. You could bend a new one from 1/8 wire or you could use something like this.

Good luck in your effort and hope you are able to get in the air without mishaps.

Hi,thank you cl pilot.The info on the engine size is appreciated. I'll look on e-bay and try and find a OS .25. Also the landing gear is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you again. FB.
