I used the kit screws.

Got all the bits painted and stickers on, starting to look pretty good! I found the CARF touch up paints to be very easy to spray well, perfect matches, and they dry quick at 4:1 too. I basically copied the 2010 scheme pictured on page 56, it is very scale looking without repainting the tail. I decided after flying it that I wanted to leave as much color as possible too. Even adding a lot of color to the fuselage strakes as well.

Is there another source for replacement tires for the CARF landing gear. I need to buy an extra set and the price quoted was kind of a shock. Do the nose gear tires wear like the mains? We are flying off rough old runways.
