Hi guys,

I've been into this wonderful hobby for about 4 months, started with a "World Models Super Frontier 40" with a "OS .40 LA", which i used to fly almost every day (used more glow fuel on the plane than gasoline for my car LOL)

If you've never seen this plane you can check it out [link=http://theworldmodels.com/para/products/airplanedetails.php?airplaneid=48]HERE[/link]

It's a very good plane, stable and slow as a turtle on valium, went solo after 3 flights, plenty of dihedral so i had to move the CG and the elevator throw for inverted flight, but got it right

My instructor said i was ready for something else, so i followed his advice and got a "World Models T-34 Mentor 40" with a Super Tigre .61 Engine, flies very nice and fast, hovers, inverted, does anything... the funny part comes when it's time to land.

The main gear is very stiff, and it's 90º from the wing so it doesn't damp at all, and puts a lot of stress on the wing joint.

I was thinking about using some 380 Series RoboStruts to make things a little smoother on landings (ALWAYS windy here, with unpredictable gusts), but they are too long, not to mention the nose gear.

I've been reading the specs and you can cut about 2 inches (at most)to make them shorter, but they'd be still too long and i don't want my plane to look like a jiraffe, besides my guess is that a too long landing gear will make the plane unstable on the ground because de CG is too far away from it (the ground).

I think ground clearance (including 2 1/2 wheels) should be 4-5 inches

Suggestions? Comments? Replacements? What would you do? [&:]

Thanks [8D]
