Greetings,

Sorry I cannot comment on your question...yet, but I have just received this plane as a birthday present from my wife and I have a couple of questions. I am awaiting a new cowl from GP as the one that came with the ARF was quite deformed - how is yours? It looks like a nice kit (ARF) but I am already thinking about some changes like putting more scale like (and tougher) gear on it. My landings leave alot to be desired and I never cared for the strength of wire gear. I was looking at the Robart gear but it is a bit pricey for this plane, I may go with the Hangar 9 gear and make whatever mods are needed to fit them on this bird. I am also replacing the foam tires with more scale like tires from Dubro. You have me thinking about the hinges now also. I cannot foresee a problem with using the Robart hinges, but I need to look at the plane in more detail to answer your question. What powerplant are you using?

Note that we are in the same neck of the woods, where do you fly?

Steve
