It does has main gear doors. They come with all 3 gear doors but your on your own on attaching them and making them work. I will put all the gear doors on this one after Kentucky jets. I still dont have the gear and its being shipped to Kentucky straight to the event so hope it shows early in the week.

During assembly on the Kingtech T-1 I noticed the ball links in my opinion are made backwards. Ball links are made so that when they come apart they can only go one way. Well these ball links with the kit when the link pops off the ball it goes the wrong way so that you would loose control of the surface. When I hook up ball links I always make sure the no go side faces out so if it does fail it will fail inward towards the linkage so you dont loose the plane.
Options
>Use different linkages
>Remove the ball and insert it from the opposite direction so it cant fail to the outside. (this is what I did because I dont have time to get new ones)
>use a flat washer so if it does pop off the washer will save it from coming all the way off.
My recommendation would be to get new ones if possible.
We will be upfront and honest about the good and bad that we find with this plane. I will talk to the factory and see if they can make a change to linkages before they go out but not sure if the changes will take effect before then.

Hmmmm
I guess I am not following you on the ball link issue.
Those are similar to ones used on helicopters for decades ( I have been using them since the 70's.
There is no lateral force that would cause the link to " pop " off. Nevertheless if you are in the least worried
then place a washer between the head bolt and the ball and that sucker will never depart.
Its a non issue for me. Check out the smack down, hard 3D that heli guys do with those links.....!!!
