it's a laser models Colibri .20. i'll certainly try the toe in thing again though i'm sure it's okay; it's pretty beefy gear. as for ahead or inline with the leading edge of the wing, it came with wire landing gear, but those didn't last long and were replaced with the doral style and i would guess with out looking at the plane, they are right about where the old ones were because i was worried about the CG being shifted if placed incorrectly. i may have inadvertantly built them in wrong or just cruked enough after crashing the first few times, i don't know. maybe it's just time for a new plane. though i could build another set of floats and take my shot at the water front with that plane. my cub is going to eventually have floats anyway and all the work i'm going to do to that thing, i'd rather learn with and dunk an old piece of junk. but the LG is ripped out right now and i'm having thoughts of just moving it back and putting a nose gear on it while it is out of commission. as for the right thrust angle on the engine, LOL, like i said before, FRANKENSTEIN... right now it has a chunk of 1/4 inch plywood with a cut out for the engine to bolt to and is doweled through and epoxied to the fire wall. i haven't measured it with any triangles or anything, but it's pretty damn straight and i do have an architects eyes. maybe the gear is on backwards. are they supposed to sweep back looking from the side, or sweep forward? maybe i'll just change it for and grins. i do have access to a trainer, but i also work grave shift fixing real airplanes (how ironic) and trainer night at my club is tuesday evening and it seems like most trainers work during the week and i have thursday/friday off. so i would have to go try to fly, rush home to get ready for work and that's no fun. the planes don't do this on real flight G2. that's why i think it's the plane and not me. my buddy tried to take the thing off and it did it to him also. we were thinking of taking the engine off and putting huge rocket motors on the plane and launching it as high as it would go and auger it into the groung one final time, but with my luck i wouldn't be able to keep it in a dive and it would just belly in again and mess it up just enough to ground it. anyhoo, i guess i'll do some measuring and get a real engine mount and clean everything up again. it's such a confidence killer when people watch you and you can't keep from trashing your plane though. it gets hard to fix it over and over and keep going back for more.
