Hmmm...What else is there other than the Venus thats is comparable to the Super Sportster. I dont have the build experience and a bit apprehensive about cutting up the wing to reinforce the landing gear. Would anyone have any idea on how to attack this? The front half of the wings are sheeted and the blocks lie behind that. I know I could just cut through...but getting it back together and flush and having the sheeting as strong as it was is my concern.
What makes you think the landing gear needs reinforcement on this ARF? I haven't flown one but from what I can tell it's a quality model, in fact, it is extensively used in the lower classes of precision aerobatics. I know I'll catch heat for this but I think some of the people that claim the need for reinforcement need to learn to land better.

If you do feel the need for this modification it really isn't very difficult and balsa is very easy to work with.
