Hey Sean.
Glad to be of help.
After flying my F-104 in windy conditions, I have made a few less-than-perfect landings and broken the landing gear mounting plates. It is hard to replace this mounting plate when the model is finished, due to the limited amount of space. So I would reinforce the mounting plates for the main gear, if I were to build another F-104. Other thath that, it is just a great flying model and I'm having a lot of fun with it. At jetmeets I especially like the comments from people, who have never seen a F-104 fly before. I flies a lot better that you should think. Good luck.
