RE: Seagull Yak?
Hey Gary... yep, those Seagulls are nice builds but I could smell lots of trouble with keeping the gear on em without some beefing... but that is true of many arfs.
I'm still working on my scratch build project. Took a bunch of time away from it for spring chores, yard work, garden, etc. but do have the fuselage covered and a good bit of the details done to finish up the fuselage.
It has been the most fun of any project I've done for a very long time. I'm in hopes of course that it flies well enough to enjoy but of course know that a self designed plane is a turkey shoot that can go either way. The mystery in that strangely offers a component of exhilaration I've not felt before and its cool. I don't know if it is like gambling, or challenging ones own abilities or exactly what... it's hard to describe... but it is fun... at least to do once.
