Fossoman that goes in the two holes in the nose that are not vented all the way through to the battery compartment.. its just a Skid for landing on the belly... Optional but helps to protect the plane on landings

I like the landing gear Idea but does'nt that create drag and slow it down? Course I guess you could put a hotter motor on the compensate.

hey if you take a look at this thread (ill give you the link at the end haha) you can see these guys KNOW what they're talkinga bout, especically gryphon.. if you go a few pages back in that thread look for my name and I have some videos posted there and I acutally did this speed test video where gryphon and his buddies have software program that gets the speed from the doppler effect... (waves of the sound of the plane passing) and my STOCK stryker got from around 73 to 80 give or take wind..... they said this is VERY rare in a stock stryker.. as most f27c on a level flight are actually rated at about 65 (not 80 like on the box) but Gryphon recommended an APC e 6x5.5 prop... he said it will give me about 7-10 mph more! just watch the temp of the electronics in the summer time.. read trhough that thread especially wehre you see my name and take a look at my videos on there! heres the link
