RE: Hacking a GP US40+ kit
The damage is minor- I just broke the hardwood block into which the landing gear sits. Its no big deal to repair and I will be flying without gear anyway. My real issue is that with a 55ax and 12x8 prop, this plane flies like a rocket. I really wanted it to be atleast sports (the box said it was 3d capable but I doubt) and a easy lander
I have flown faster airplanes since I flew this last but in the monsoon, our field will be covered with 4-5 feet of grass, so a handlaunch and a soft dunk into grass is the way to fly. Part of the field will also be a lake, so I need an airplane I can fly suitably close while dunking. Basically, I need to slow this airplane down....
