Just my 2 cents if the plane was nice and all there except the gear problems go buy a set of after market gear put it on and go fly ,no sense in driving up the blood presure.Heck I have gotten planes that the landing gear or tires or some piece of hardware was crap I replaced it for something better and moved on and enjoyed the plane.That is some times what you have to deal with when you fly ARF's.Solution build from kit or plans take months on end to do it, pick your own hardware get just what you want. Me I would rahter take a couple of evening put together a ARF deal with any hardware issues and go fly, it is hard enough to get time to fly as it is
