Default RE: Skyshark Edge 540 Maiden

I have flown and built 2 of these localy. Built many ARFs. I still say this one came out right on the numbers better than any other ARF in my experience. And have built several from some of the most common brands. The landing gear is a problem. I put both of them together but that was too stiff. In the end I used half cup 5/32" wire holders and added a 5/32" spring wire to the heavier one. Worked ok. But I think it was a little too stiff. Perhaps the weaker gear would have worked better for that modification. The plane flies great. Straight and true. Too bad it isn't available in this country any more.
I also have 2 in the boxes yet!!!!!
