I've flown a few times with the new gear. Works nicely. Still haven't finished the new gear doors. Only problem is, these are the biggest wheels/tires I can install - just not any more room in the wing to go larger. This is covered with Solar Tex, which is completely different than came with the other WildHare Hellcats. They had a few uncovered planes from the factory, and I started from there. Still cost the same, however. No price break. Ha. No more cheesy chinese made retracts for me either. It's either Sierra or Robart. On painting, Solar Tex can be painted over.
On flaps, what's there is fine. But, I modded mine to drop further than the factory had allowed for. Shaved off some balsa on the flap to allow more droop. Not a big job, but worth the effort.
