terry its a solid kit I had a good time doing mine OS 120 pumped engine full house retracts including tail wheel here is another thread that I contributed to as well
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_48...tm.htm#4868696 lots of good input.
I mounted the gear in the stock locations and there fine where there at.
my one suggestion would be think about using 3/32 sheeting for the wings instead of the supplied 1/16 sheeting, I had some warping that I did correct with filler but if I was to build another one,I would go with the slightly thicker wood for the wing sheeting, otherwise it was a easy to build model that looks great.
mine is now in the hangar getting a upgraded OS120 Surpass III pumped engine and a new 2.4 receiver
