I'd just fly with the gear that comes with your kit, personally. If you bend/bust the gear up beyond repair, then put some other gear on it, or make it a tail dragger. I've not seen any better nose gear than what came with the Avistar ARF... the rear "wire" gear could be replaced with some better/stiffer gear. I bounced alot at first with the stock wire gear because I landed pretty hard... stiffer rear gear would help reduce bouncing, but it's best to learn not to land so hard!
