ORIGINAL: Ugo Ferrari

For heaven's sake... Build the Hog like it was meant to be !! Landing gear in the WING !! Not a trike and NOT with a dorky metal gear hung under the fuse !! It wll not nose over if you taxi it like a real tail dragger... with the stick in your crotch! Hold a little back(UP) stick while taxiing to keep the tail down and start releasing the stick when she's up on the mains and she'll take herself off !

Lotsa Luck, That's my Hog in my Avatar'

Hi Ugo, I know I may not be doing justice to the Astro Hog with such modifications, but I chose the lazy way out..LOL! I had a
PT-19 before, holding up elevator is a must. Its not the nosesing-over that I am avoiding, its the bending of the music wire.

Yes, I have seen your built on the Hog in your avatar. You used a number on the wing...was it for racing? Fantastic work!!
