just a suggestion on the rookie. I have one and am generally happy with it. However, double check the glue joints on the gear plates. mine were dry joints with very minimal glue. I had the right gear plate come out on the first take off run. I talk to Andreas about the problem, and they were using too much filler in the epoxy mix. I believe they have corrected this, but it would depend on when yours was made. Otherwise I had no problems.
