I may look into the gear change also. The way it's set up I have to tear out servo mount for throttle to get tank out, which I need to do to change fuel lines and check what size tank is and so forth. I'm in process of finishing up a giant super sportster so in no big hurry. I'm just glad to finally find a few of you guys with this plane.

Great looking planes. You should just send me that Hog, If I had to cover plane I might try the wing attachment you have, set up would be alot easier.

I also made a hatch on the top front of the fuse to access the tank. I am running dual servos on the bottom wing for ailerons. The wing struts take about 5 seconds to disconnect, then they just lay down flat for transporting. One heck of a lot easier than the N struts that the kit called for.
The Hog Bipe belongs to my younger brother. It is a fantastic flying plane. He is powering it with a GMS .76 2st and he flys the snot out of it. He can even hover with the Hog. I was so impressed, that I have one on the build now also. I will probably put a Magnum .91 2st in mine when it gets done.

Cheers
