On the landing part, it may sound like you stalled the plane. Keep up your airspeed until your ready to set it down, and then slow it up a little bit. Another thing check to make sure your wheel moves smoothly. I didn't use the stock wheel on mine, it flexed down to much. Yes the fuse on the ARF streak is hollow. I had problems with mine at first. I used a starter on it and it broke the front off where the wing is. I braced it up with some more wood, and some of the Brodak Hinge material with CA. It makes it very, very stiff. I ran it back to the wing. Now its really stiff and dont have to worry about it breaking. Its as strong as a solid fuselage.
