Default RE: Bling 3D 50cc ARF

I did replace the gear on mine shortly after I took those pictures. I could not find the Chip Hyde double vision gear anywhere - seems to be no longer available.
I installed a one-piece Graph Tech Main Gear for the Extreme Flight 74" Yak (#244). Fits the Bling perfectly - the width on the fuselage is identical. It sits about 2" higher and has a lot more "spring" to it than the stock metal gear. It also has a fair bit of sweep which I think looks great with the sweep facing rearward.

I really wish they'd bring this plane back. At least almost all the parts are still available...
