Default RE: E-flite BAe Hawk 15 DF ARF

The landing gear installed easily but I noticed some minor issues. The kit came with 2mm x 8mm machine screws for the wheel collars instead of shorter Allen head screws so they stick out a bit. The flat spots on the gear metal rods where all facing downward so I just went with it. Typically, I install my wheel collars with the screw facing aft to minimize any grass snagging and provide a cleaner look from the front view.

These minor issues can be easily fixed, if desired, by obtaining some 2mm x 4mm set screws and using a Dremel tool to create a new flat spot.
