RE: GP Ryan STA
I have Robart struts on my STA-M and did a bad take off that ended in the ground. I ripped both landing gear out but damage was not that bad. Just glued it all back together. It has a pretty flat glide so I do wheel landings and pull up gradually as the wheels touch because it wants to tip over. Its a very graceful flier. Its not over built but its not a fast aerobat either. This is the thrid GP ARF I have and I'm impressed enough that I got the PT-17 also.
