Steve, have no worries about that little amount of carbon,,, the mounting of the 2.4 gear is far enuff away that it wont cause any problems.

Thats my 2002 NATS pic holding some 10th place wood. That was a Vortex wing and my own fuse but its now long gone up in 428 heaven

Status: offline 		Have you raced your Sam-Rai yet? I built two this summer and
raced #1 at the Western States Finals two weeks ago. It is fast and groovy!
I need to take out some of the aileron and elevator throws, as I had
it set up too sensitive for putting it on the course.

Here is a picture of Tom Skavinski and me with our Sam-Rai's.

Best Regards,
Tom
