I am not sure if this is still the case Maple. My kit when built was purchased over 10 years ago. However, where the front trike like wheels insert into the fuse is a flimsy design at best. There were two U shaped slotted pieces of ply that the gears inserted into on the sides of the fuse. They popped out of those things very easily as there was nothing to complete a 'box' around the gear rods that went up into the fuse. I had to take pieces of ply and glue two on the sides of the gear rods, then another larger one that created a box or block effect. Fortunately I didn't build them so strong that it ripped my fuse apart. It was enough to dampen the effect of a plane screaming toward the ground at 40mph as it ripped through brush and vines. Thus the reason why I am capable of repairing this thing in under 5 hours instead of having to rebuild it from scratch.
