I have had several emails with the designer, BJ Park and he is adamant that the old landing gear detracts from the flight characteristics of this plane which is why he went with the wire gear. However, he will sell and we will stock the fiberglass gear as an optional item for $50 and that includes new wheel pants, wheels, and axles but he wanted to be sure that we tell people that flight testing by the factory does not show this to be an improvement to the plane (except perhaps looks) and in fact detracts from it.
