Oh definitely a tail dragger. It did have wells for retracts but I'm making a carbon/balsa/carbon plate for fixed gear installation. I'm also fabricating a carbon landing gear for it...actually glass/glass/carbon/glass/glass sandwich. Yeah, I would love to just go out and buy a new 110 but that's cost prohibitive right now. Next year while building the Hydeout, I'll have to 2-stroke it probably with an OS 160 and pipe. I was gonna go with a Mintor but I read some people here having problems with tuning and reliability.

I have to agree with you about the looks of the silent. I just love the smooth look and the flowing lines. The 120 is really shoehorned in there, just enough space for the required parts...haemostats required, definitely. I just hope that the fixed gear won't cause too many changes to the flying qualities.
