Hi Dragono,

I like the looks of the dual nose wheel. Is the mounting plate part of a bulkhead or are the two layers of ply glued to the bottom of the fuse? You may want to gusset behind the mount if the latter. I use a servo saver setup if I run a nosewheel, this helps it is simply a light coil spring on either side of the servo on the nose gear cable or rod. I agree with Charlie P though and do not like using a trike setup, I am always pranging it up with my gracefull landings.

I like to use a fiberglass main gear held on with two # 12 nylon bolts(on my 40 size aircraft), this alllows it to break away without doing extensive damage to the fusealage. I also like to use the dubro semi-scale tail wheel system. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRWW7&P=7 this tailwheel does not show up under the fixed tailwheel section on the towersite. I had to do a search using Dubro and go through all the Dubro product till I found it.
