I have put 3 inch wheels on the main gear and a two inch one on the front, then bent the main gear bracket to accomodaite the half inch offset,

I personally find the nose wheel gear very sloppy and the clear brittle acrylic is starting to bind puting lots of strain on the rudder servo,
You can loosen the screw to free it up but then the spring rod is loose,
Some silicone lube for plastics has improved it,
I am considering puting stronger better nose gear on it and using a seperate servo on "Y" lead in parallel with the rudder servo,
At least if the nose wheel takes a hit I may still have rudder left,

An instructor at my club suggested that I move the COG forward as out of the box it is very hard to get back down on the ground for a begginer,especially in a bit of wind,

Maybe the stronger heavier nose gear will be a win win all round,?

I have lost count how many motor mounts I have broke with just gentle nose overs,
Have broke a cowl too, they are so delicate, AS RB says, they are like bone china,
Broke a few pieces of foam off here and there, they glue back on with 5 minute epoxy,
Just need to be mindful of the weight that epoxy adds,
We do have cricket pitches at every park almost but as said it is so hard to keep these things straight so the quicker one gets it of the ground the better even if it doesnt look much like a scale takoff,
They have heaps of power,
