The landing gear good and stout. I used lite weight 3.25" Dubro wheels to save weight, but also because the Dubro Cub wheels are not the correct size. A little on the big side. I used JB Weld to secure some number 10 washers as backers to the wheels and notched the landing gear wire so the wheel collars would not get loose. Blue Locktite finished the job. I may or may not use the spats when I get that far.
