Thanks Mr67Stang that makes sense. But, i've never bought this plane before, so what does it come with as far as landing gears? Like will it still come with just the wires that drop from the bottom of the wing? I think is kinda weird to have the picture one way, but the included landing gear to be different. Usually i look at the picture to see what im getting, and that just seems misleading.
The one I mentioned in the 2nd post, the one that came with tricycle gear, came with tricycle gear and that was about 3-4 weeks ago.
What do you plan to do, build it tricycle or taildragger? Whatever you actually care to do can be easily done. If you are worried about getting parts for the tricycle gear and then having to pay for parts for the other, call whomever you plan to buy the thing from and ask them about the situation. 3-4 weeks ago Tower was shipping ARFs like Tower describes in their detailed description. Tricycle geared. A LHS might make a deal with you to discount the conversion parts if you need them. When they get the box, you can open it and see which parts are in it. And pickup the conventional gear parts then.
None of us are going to know the motives behind someone else's advertising. Tower's ad detail says it comes with tricycle. If it doesn't, you can return it no questions asked. But you can call them right away and tell 'em they shipped you something that doesn't match the product detail description and it's almost a sure thing they'll make it good. Or you could talk to them when ordering it and tell them you want the ARF that is pictured in their ads, if that's what you want, and for the advertised price. And see what they say and do.
But if you only want to know somebody's motives, you really need to ask those people.
