Default RE: TF Contender

Hi Guys:

I don't like the landing gear that comes with the Contender. I would like to use an aluminum one that you can bolt on
after covering. Did any of you substitute your main gear.

I am going to use the Fultz nose wheel gear. It has two springs. All three wheels will be 3 inch.

Also, I want to use a 3-blade prop on my OS .61 FX. I think it will look better, have more verticle and brake better.

The OS book recommends 12x6 - 8 or 13x6-7. Could any of you tell me what this would translate into a 3-bladed prop?

Haven't progressed much from the above post. I did get the leading edge glued on, but have not shaped it yet.
I have about 1/8" warp in my wing. I have weights on it, hoping it will go away. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jim
