The landing gear and wheels are garbage. Plan on replacing both. I had a set made for the CAP at TnT landing gear so they should have the pattern. Make sure you get them to make it from 3/16 or 1/4 " aluminum not 1/8!! The first set I had made were too thin and they bent just as easily as the stock gear. I eventually "doubled up" the stock and TnT gear and that finally fixed the problem. Had I used 1/4" gear in the first place it would have worked great

Trust me, don't even consider the stock gear by itself... I never had a hard landing it still flattened out. I was bending and re-bending nearly every flight. I must have had the gear off 10 times in the first few weeks. If you hit it hard and you will be fixing the wing where the wheel pants go through it when the gear pancake on you. It was a different plane once I fixed the gear. All of the SuperKraft planes suffer from horrible gear sets.. the rest of the plane is fantastic... just lousy cheap Chinese aluminum.

You will also have to reinforce the firewall with fiberglass AND tie it to the second former with some 10-32 all-thread. If you only glass the firewall and do not use the reinforcement rod - the firewall will separate at the top side where it meets the fuse. Mine had significant cracks only after a few flights... the cracks would widen when the throttle was advanced... not good.

I had that plane and flew the crap out of it. It was one of my first gassers.. it also was one of the nicest flying planes I ever owned. Mine had a 3W-24 on it. My only complaint is that it did not have airfoiled tail surfaces, but for that size, that is a minor issue. I wish they made a bigger one for a 50cc! CAPs are my favorite planes.

Good luck,
