Ripmax Xcalibur Sports jet

Well, bit the bullet and ordered one off Ken today, so maybe the first one in Aussie? A couple of questions, as I will be using my own U/C as I have one spare. I will be powering it with my PST800r (18lbs), so it should go ok!
1/ What size main wheels?
2/ what size nose wheel?
3/ What length is the nose oleo, from top of trunion to axle?
Thanks for your help!
Dave

I was sorting through all of my old collection of RC Jet International magazines and came across this article from April/2001. It would seem that jet modelers have been playing around with type of design for many years. Probably for good reason, as they do fly very well!
Has anybody had the chance to come up with some numbers from my earlier post?
Cheers!

Well people, my Excalibur arrived this afternoon! I must say that I am very impressed with the quality and have already started the build. I t would be nice to use the retracts made for this jet, but having all that I need already lying around, I decided to use what I have. The purpose made oleo's have a very large rake back on the trailing link, so my solution was to drill and tap a 3 mm hole for a small 3 mm screw into the back of the oleo where the spring holder rests against. This holds the trailing link strut out to the right angle to fit into the wheel well. I'm using my three inch Jet Legend wheels and brakes, which appears to be a perfect fit. I will have to shorten the oleo's to suit by having them machined on a lathe, very easy to do. The kit came with a tank, but at 3 litres, it's huge for my PST800, so I may use a two juice bottle plus a 300 ml header tank, which should give me about 8 mins of flying. Hopefully the pics show what I'm trying to do.

Just a quick up date with my BF100 it fills all the rooms and had to put two spacers at the rear mountings to bring the turbine in center line also put a Ram strobe using two spray caps as the lenze painting one with red polyester and leave the other transparent if you see a lot piping that is because I don't trust these metal T connectors and brought them on the top if in case I had leaks I could just replace them also the plane isnt quit finished yet.,
