A bit more news regarding the RB, I was planning on using a set of Springair series 300 w/ 7/16" robo struts however, I had a chance conversation with Sierra Giant Scale gear and the conversation of the RB came up and they have informed me that they aquired a kit for fit-up and expect to offer a complete pneumatic gear w/ a 1/2" strut set.

I'm expecting to get word on avaiability today and I will pass on details.

I have scraped the 3" tires supplied in the kit (since I only got 1 anyway) for a pair of 3-1/2" Sullivans.

CONSTRUCTION NOTE:
1. The landing gear plates are butt glued to the their respective supporting ribs. With such long gear legs, turning these plates out of the wing in the event of a harder than normal landing is high, thus I have epoxied 3/8" triangle stock under the mounting plate at each rib location and will be installing a set of Du-Bro threaded inserts thru the gear plate to mount the gears.

2. Do to my engine selection, I have substituted the Elevator Pushrod wires out to 4-40 for less flex and is VERY easily done. I used the wires supplied for all other controls.

Once I get the "legs" for my Bear it will be off to the airfield.
