I haven't flown mine yet, but I am beginning to agree with GoldenKnight. My main gear block had no glue at the front, and only a tiny amount in the rear, so the first bump I hit it ripped the block clear from the plane. While epoxying this back, I wondered how/when I will discover any other "short gluing."
I cut my ailerons for flaps, I just tried to maximize my aileron throw to compensate for that loss in strip aileron surface area. Like Jim, I also used robarts pin hinges as well as CA hinges, and I opted for some fat bush style pneumatic tires. Other than that, she's bone stock.

Dave: I found the same problem with my landing gear, reglued it and went to the 5.50 dubro wheels. Did you have problems with your wings, finally got mine to go together like on Gary's had to sand deihederal braces a lot before they would fit, then when trying to install wings had to trim forward edge of cocpit area to get wings to mount right, also have made strut connectors out of lite metal all and all awful lot of work for a ARF
