Hey Chemie,
Good luck with your build. I have flown mine now about 10 times. The last two with out such good luck on the landing. I have pulled out the LG twice now, but no other damage.
Merry Christmas

This plane can be a bear on landing. It can drop wing tips, either side. Gets mushy on landing. All of this happens if you slow up too much. Land it a bit faster, come in a bit lower and under more power keep extra air flowing over the surfaces and she will and like a dream. Stay off of the ailerons on landing. Once yer over the runway stick with the rudder, use the throttle, not the elevator. With this plane if u use the elevator on landing it can stall it out very easily causing you to just suddenly drop.
If yer having floating issues when trying to land with power add a bit of downthrust...
I love mine!!! I will be making this plane my float plane!!
I'll dig up the pics I took of mine when I built mine and post em if any 1 wants...
