I agree with the issue of putting good landing gears on the airplane but there is no way to get graphtech. It will cost twice the basic price to get it to India. I know the HK CF gears are quite good and cheap and thats why I got it. It was reputed to be unbreakable but the guys on my field told me not to use it. I will add it in once I get more used to the airplane and start doing 3D with it. Till then I would persiste with a bendable aluminium gear rather than a shatterable CF one. I think we should leave this for later

I am not desperate enough to try and mod my engine. Phoenix models are sturdily built which is why I picked this model. Remember, its a test rig before I open up my Funtana which is much more expensive

I am thinking of putting in a GP nylon spinner with lightened metal backplate (which I was using on my glow airplanes) simply to be able to use a starter. For the time being the cowl is off till I can get the engine broken in.
