DM your looking good there!!! RICKSTUBBZ you are an animal at building !!! [sm=bananahead.gif] I agree whole heartedly with you mclina, the stock gear is more than adequate... I must have 75 flights on my Uproar and I do at least one whole flight of just touch and goes everytime I fly her !!!!! the stock gear is fine as is and the plywood bracing as recomended is fine as well. I am just just finishing up my second Uproar and I am ready to start sanding and shaping. I extended the rudder a half inch and the elevator too and I made the ailerons like the Dazzler, minor changes really but everything else box stock. The Uproar is one of the nicest airplanes to land as I have ever flown, it makes me look good.[8D] talked to a guy who built a Fun-51 (Tower kit similar to Uproar) into a twin, still want to do the Uproar twin as I am sure it would be a blast to fly. Looking forward to doing a snazzy Monokote scheme on my new Uproar.
