MockV......

One more thing......

If this is your first plane, you may want to substitute another landing gear rather than the wire ones that come with the Aerostar.

I can't tell you how many times I knocked out those wire gears learning to land.

I switched to a Du-Bro (I think) Model LG15 glass gear with axles and 2-1/2" wheels.

The reason I mention this now is that it is MUCH easier to install prior to covering.

Also, I just ran across the manual, so if you get stuck somewhere, just yell!
