Hi Joe,

Thanks for all of the info. I too have been making some mods. I already have done the pinking tape seam covering, the center wing joint glassing and I have decided to install the Hangar 9 1/5 scale Cub gear. Their gear is more scale like in appearance and is alot more durable than the GP wire gear. It installed with minimal mods to the fuselage such as adding a hardwood block inside and inserting threaded brass inserts. I plan on flying scale like and I have not decided whether to mod the wing struts yet. Since this is my first 4-stroke, I am going to mount the engine on its side per the instructions just to avoid any possible bad first 4-stoke experiences. I can always mount it inverted with an onboard glow later as a learning experience.

Regards,

Steve
