RE: Showtime
My stock tailwheel bracket is still going strong, with no problems. The main gear, however, has been broken off 3-4 times now, and eventually I'm going to have to re-build the whole LG area, I think. I have also installed three 1/4-20 nylon bolts to hold the main gear on so it shears the bolt heads off in a rough landing rather than tearing out the LG plate.
I am more daring with this plane than any of my other planes. This one has around 50 flights on it, so I'm getting more brave. My lowest hover with it so far was about 8 feet, but I'm going to keep trying to get lower.
