Thanks for the info. That is where mine came out as well. I fly grass fields only so I never even consider wheel pants. They are just not worth the effort. Once I finish a plane I want to fly , not rebuild constantly.

Yea, replacing the hinges is a no brainer. With slots cut in just about all arf's now days, why would anyone put in a CA hinge when a kleet or other similar hinge is so easy? Just hit the slot with your slot cutter to enlarge it and drop it in.

I have noticed alot of pattern planes use prop pitches that area quite a bit higher than we use on scale aerobatic planes. Could someone explain the advantage to this? I am assuming it has something to do with flying on a pipe. How do I get an idea of what pitch to use. I normally use a 13X6 on my ST. .90's in a scale aerobatic plane without a pipe.
