Another comment regarding the gear for the tail dragger version. Tail dragger gear requires a longer length music wire as the 5/32" gear provided in the kit is too short. Also you may want to consider using 3/16" wire for the gear as it will be less prone to bend back after numerous landings. If you decide to go for the bigger wire you would also have to widen the grooves on the landing gear blocks to accomodate the bigger wire. In either case, a wire bender makes the job easy. If you don't have one ask other fliers if they do and ask to borrow it or ask them to bend the wire for you.
