Default RE: Lancair Wing Failures

I received the new one piece landing gear and installed it without problem. I had glassed the center section in three pieces so the original measurement worked just fine. I checked the balance and only had to add 3/8 ounce. I'm real happy since the Saito twin is several ounces heavier than a similar single. This worked because I used a 1300 mA 5 cell receiver battery and on-board glow driver battery all mounted well aft of the hatch door. I'm really happy with the finished product but now I'm afraid to fly it. I think I'm going to wait til I can find one of the club's best pilots for the shake down flight. Hopefully I can do that in the next month. Stay tuned.
