I put 3" on my Sukhoi, I think the stock where 2 1/2 (not sure) but looked a little small for a grass field on a larger plane, I love the way these VF planes fly. The 58" wing comes in 1 piece and the 66 comes in two that need to be epoxied together, It's the edge that has the 2 piece wing.

About the gear.
I tore mine off after a grass landing.
The mounting plate seems to not be the sturdiest made.
Re did with ply and epoxy. BTW. flew it into a tree after a dead-stick
Fueled her up and took off. Didn't even break the prop!
My lucky day

I got this reply from Vector Flight after writing them about my gear.
Thank you for your message. An exact scale drawing of the LG plate and some ply sheeting is being mailed to you immediately. We would have loved to send the actual part, but unfortunately the internal components of the airframe are laser cut as part of a set for the entire airplane and we usually do not have extra pieces available. However the LG plate is a very simple design and you should be able to cut it out with a saw and drill out the three holes required for the LG
These guys are THE BEST customer service out there bar none.
I sent the initial inquiry at 11:00p.m. and got the reply when I woke up.
The plane is sweet, the service is phenomenal and I will be speanding my money with them again
