Default RE: Attack of the Clones

Sorry, I have no clue. My first question was if they where from Eurokit, Robert at EJF.COM was going to build a plane like mine, so I figure I get in and start the same project. I asked him to get me a set of whatever he was getting for himself, whne he sent me a picture and a price, I asked him to get me two sets. A main one and then a spare set for Back ups. They where somewhere in the range of $50-65 for a set of three so I thought it was wise to get two. I hope to be able to mount the nose gear High so it can hide in the wheel well but mainly I am going to use a BVM nose gear so the cylinder thing will not affect my Install.

Has anyone flown this Plane? What CG and control Throws where used?

Dear Turbulence,

I am curious about the Eurokit gear you are using. I used Eurokit for the mains but found it not suitable for the nose. The bolt that holds the spring kept binding against the retract cylinder. How did you overcome this problem. Also. the nose wheel required quite a short strut. I could barely trim the Eurokit one short enough to work.

Thanks,
