Default RE: Protech Tojeiro-90 build. The last one?

Today I picked up a carbon landing gear. I also decided for now to go without wheelpants. I damaged in an early attempt to go flying on a wet field with long grass also the Tru-turn spinner, so that has been off already for a while!

Main reason for changing gear was weight, and the fact that with the current gear and a 14 inch prop there is basicly NO ground clearance. Also the plane doesn't rotate when taking off, since it simply sits too low.

Weight saving: 150 grams.

Total weight now: 4040 grams.

I will let you guys know if this actually gives better flight performance.
