Excellent job. Where is everyone getting those blue foam plane stands? The couple times I've run across them they are always sold out. One thing to consider doing to help the gear box survive, as told to me by AJ based on his experience with the uber stiff BJ gear, is to run a piece of G10 or 2mm carbon plate that spans across the two landing gear to tie them together across the top on the inside so the twisting force can be transferred/shared between the two sides. It's been a source of irritation for me since I rarely get to fly off of paved runways. My last go around, I hysoled some hardwood block to tie the gear structure together better and then drilled holes between BJ's lite ply and the hardwood then inserted a lot of tiny cut off hardwood dowels between everything to pin them together and have never had an issue since, knock on wood. The weight was negligible.
