How do you like it?

I was going to put in the same engine on mine once it arrives.

Did you do anything with the wheels?

How about guy wires?

Status: offline 		Mine doesn't have wires.  The landing gear is pretty weak and I broke the pants on a less than perfect landing.  I just bent a piece of aluminum to add to the strut and may just keep it that way.  I'm going to add some larger wheels with aluminum hubs to dress it up a bit.  Otherwise, the plane flies good.  I actually added a little nose weight even with the DL 50.  I'm trying to add a couple photos from our recent giant scale show.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I was thinking of adding a couple of supporting thick piano wires to the existing strut to make them look like big guy wires.

That will help re-inforce the gear from side to side, but I don't have a clue as to what to do yet about front to back bracing.


I'd imagine it would not be too difficult to fabricate new pants for your plane out of some other giant scale plane wheel pants.

Stock fiberglass wheel covers can be cut with a dremel from the top. The strut cover could be added via plastic sheeting or formed from fiberglass cloth.


Yours doesn't look bad as is though.

Any pictures of what you did to the gear to beef it up?

Thanks.
