Default RE: Best Kit for First Build

DuBro makes a really nice plastic landing gear you can use. I like to mount the gear just a little farther forward than carrellh does, I put a ply plate that went under the bulkhead in front of the wing so the landing loads get transferred to the whole side of the fuse. On mine that's pictured the gear is about 1/2" too far back for a beginer, it took some up at low speed to keep it from nosing over. The tail-wheel conversion was easy.
