Hi Adrian,
The plane looks really nice. If you get a chance, post some pictures of the landing gear installation. How are the gear with the stubby mounting tab held in? Also, have you talked to anyone that has flown the skinny and wide versions of the landing gear back to back?
Thanks,
Jim
Hi Jim,
The angle of the pix is slightly distorted. The mounting tab on the gear is actually not that short, see attached pix
I have been using the wider canard gear on my X-treme PL for more than 6 months now, and more than a year on my Astral. I felt it does help the knife edge flight slightly, but you pay a slight weight penalty of 10g.
