It's nice to have all of you guys that keep us on the "edge" of our seats in one column. I travelled from new jersey to see the chatanooga 3D event and will remember it for quite awhile. The whole bunch of flyers there was outstanding, on and off of the flightline. Made some nice contacts and aquaintances. I want to venture off topic slightly, only because I did ask this question in the Giant Scale forum, but couldn't get the info needed. I hope the forum gods will look favorably on my request. This past season is my first with giant scale in my 26 years plus of flying. It's the best, and I can't stop messin with these big birds. You can see my planes on my small site here ->

If you click on Barbs legs you will see my latest and most cherished posession, a Carden 40% Cap. To date it has taught me the most valuable lessons I've learned in 3D. I am looking to save a little weight and just ordered an additional canopy kit from Carden. I am also interested in saving some weight on the landing gear. Problem is the troy built specs are just a little off for my particular plane, especially the spec for gear width. The troy says 2" wide at the bottom of the fuse. My fuse has a very pronounced slot cut for the gear, but it's way short of 2" with no easy way of modifying the fuse. Have any of you guys or anyone you know used the troy without a problem? Is my plane just built different or is plane/gear modification necessary? Thanks for any info and keep up the good work. Thanks JB for all the inspiration
