Default A couple DP Ultimate 40 ??????

First off I love this little bipe. It flies great. It's smooth, predictable and can do far more than the pilot can. The Saito 72 with a 13x6 APC is a great combo. It'll hover at about 1/2 throttle, sure wish the pilot could hold the hover for more than about 20 seconds.

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get some carbon fiber landing gear for this plane? I have heard lately that Moose is not producing anymore gear.

Also has anyone tried to increasing the control surface throws to more than the recommended high rates? I'd like a bit more so I can do knife edge loops and faster rolls. Elevator is alright I suppose. Full elevator and a bit of rudder produces a nice snap roll.

I have the CG at 3/4" currently. Anyone tried pushing it back toward the 3/8" mark? I am thinking of going to between 5/8" and 1/2" and then flying it again.

TIA
