Default RE: Scratch Building 1/4-Scale Pitts Model-12

Much depends upon the field condition and I'm coming from a pretty rough field where few ARF gear supports are adequate and the additional weight of gear reinforcing is needed and in fact welcomed to avoid headaches of ripped out gear on landings that weren't that hard.

Sounds like you have thought the issue well and that was my primary concern.
