Countryboy, do you own one ?
It seems that their F-18 gear is the best in terms of geometry.
I don't personally own one, but I have been up close to this airframe both in kit form and built. While it may not be as refined as some kits on the market, it does build into a nice F-18. While the old kit versions were a little on the heavy side, CJM have managed to be more selective in the layup process and shaved a considerable amount of weight out of the all composite airframe. The gear are very robust and the several times that I had seen Lewis fly, I don't recall any gear problems or tipping on landing. As a single, you would not want any less than 45 lbs. thrust to really make it perform.
