So, papaJeff ... have you made your landing gear decision yet? I'm exploring all-electric retracts (i.e. no air bottles) but am having a little difficulty findg some that are strong enough for a bird of this weight. Most affordable ones I've found seem to be limited o a 4.5 lb bird. By the time I get my camera and downlink transmitter in my Reaper, I'm going to be pushing 7 lbs, I think.
MadMan,
I am inclined to stay with the standard provided gear, at least for the final review and then
explore the option of electric retracts. There are several that I would consider, such as;
