Kurt, looking very good there! That was a super quick repeir You can not tell there has been any work on it, at least from the right side up.

I've used the Dubro Nylon gear on another plane, it springs back and never bends, but oh yeah its real heavy! So if it helped to balance on CG, that grreat!

Are those 4 screws 1/4 inch? Wouldnt that be too much. I am still going with two and have had no problems. Maybe because I am totally greasing my landings, even a few dead sticks were right on target. I guess I was lucky with enough altitude, and given enough experience you know how much it will fly without pushing it too much. Just bring her down in a shallow descent all the way to about a couple of feet off and then keep flaring gently till she slows down and lands. Dont let her slow down too much and you'll have enough elevator authority all the way. Even if you land a little hot she doesnt have a tendency to nose over.

Looks like you may be flying very soon![8D]
