Ok I had to go to a 5 1/2” wheel to get the toe in correct...I moved the gear on the rails to the max to get the toe in as close as I possibly could but it wasn’t enough so I bent the axles for the correction. All is good now

Questions:
1. What "type" of paint did you use to repaint the fuselage and top of wings and stabs? (Polyurethane, enamel, latex).
2. Did you then clear coat the new paint?
3. Did you repaint the underside or is it that nice sky blue color from the manufacturer?

I built the kit completely making all my mods and adding strengthening in needed areas then I sanded the entire plane top and bottom and began the paint process.

I am assembling my ARF.... I am using Klass Kote paint.
I don't plan to clear coat my airplane.

I hope I can get away with less ballast.
Can you tell me how wide your tires are?
