The landing gear block should be re-inforced a bit when you build either plane... I've ripped them out on both the WM and the NP version, but a small piece of hardwood stops this altogether.

BTW:

I reenforced the tail with carbon fiber struts put in much like you would with rigging wires.

This has made the tail amazingly sturdy.


Two weeks ago at the field I caught the edge of the runway sending the 40S flipping end over end, to the oos and aws of spectators.

Everyone though that the plane would have major damage.

As I walked over to pick it up, I stated that it would be fine, and that it was quit sturdy.

Sure enough I picked it up, refueled it and took off again.

Three people came to me with note pads wanting to know where to buy the plane, as they were amazed at how well it held up.
