I think you'll find if you go to a 15 - 8 prop and spoilerons you can forget the landing gear mods. As stated before I fly from a 350 X 30' runway and my V2 will land and stop in 1/2 the runway with the spoilerons or a windy day. I also fly a 20 lb. P -51, now there's a baby to land and stop on our runway. Landing with the P - 51 has a pucker factor of 9.99 out of a 10.

Yes I do have a sim. up here. But it is nothing like the real deal []

Here's a pic of my P - 51 and my Eskimo sled dog The native people are scared to death of her ( 13 lbs. ) and have nicknamed her "Killer"
