Default RE: Mini 3D from Extreme Flight anyone get it yet ?

Cool, I flew mine finally, got a very short break from the monsoons. First flight was with the stock mains and 2" Dave Brown Electra Lite wheels and I could not get it to rotate. Had I not been flying crossways on a freshly mown soccer field and sped across the drop-off between fields I don't think it would have gotten airborne. Went home and cut off the bottoms of the gear legs and bent some up out of 1/8" piano wire that were 1 1/4" longer and made a joiner sleeve out of some thin walled stainless tubing I had and joined the new leg bottoms to the original uppers with some Loctite #638 sleeve retainer and it made all the difference in the world. Now it rotates perfect.
