I purchased a tailwheel assembly for my LT-40 kit. My plan was to build it as a taildragger from the get go, but I have been advised by more people than otherwise to build it with tricycle gear at first and convert later on. This is fine with me.

But, here is my question - I have heard that the OEM maingear struts on the LT-40 are a little flimsy. Having never flown the LT-40 - or even seen one fly, I am unsure whether this is a problem that I should address now or not. Should I puchase a more studry set of mains? Or should the factory set get me through OK until I eventually convert it to a taildragger a bit later?

Thanks for your input.
