@ 6pounds I thik the stock gear will be good. I just have to grease it in since mine is a little heavier.

I also think my wood was heavier than the balsa I find in some other kits - I didn't do any lightening to the fuse while building. I also did a dual servo setup in the bottom wing.

I just wanted a good sport-aerobat, not worried about it being a 3D machine - I'm happy with the result. Wing loading at 7.35 lbs is still only 22oz/sq ft. - @ 6 lbs yours should be around 18oz/sq ft - should allow you to land a little slower.
