Thanks for the replies guys.

I've not had much flight time over the last couple of weeks as I've been busy with work and decorating at home.

I did fly my PC-9 for a brief flight last week. It resulted in a deadstick. my own fault as I ran out of fuel. It has a really small tank and uses an OS46AX so its quite thirsty. I was also flying at high throttle as I love how this thing flies at speed and it needs to be at full speed to get the best out of it aerobatically.

Anyway I had loads of space for the landing and I flew it out down wind but left my final turn too late and never made it back to the field. This plane doesn;t even know what gliding is and it loses height very quickly without power. Also flying upwind into 8 knots didn't help. Anyway I hit a tree and fell down 12 feet.

I thought there was no damage but it turned out I had cracked the canopy and also smashed the mounting block for the wheel on the wing.

I know this plane is supposed to be a jet trainer of sorts but the way the wheels mount ot the rib of hte wing is very crude and lacks strength massively. The more annoying thing is that the tearing of the mounting from the wing rib causes quite a lot of damage to the wing. I had to strip back the covering and piece it back together.

I'll give it a few more flights and then see how it goes. If I have issues with teh landing gear again I'll be changing them to a set mounted on the fuse.

As for the glider project, I've still got to fit the TT46 pro to the trainer to ensure I have good power first. I'll try and get something sorted next week.
