Is that some carbon fiber gear you have on the plane? If so, who made it and how do you like it?

yes it is Carbon,, I order it from Graph tech!!! I was really scared of getting it because of all the bad things I heard outhere about CF LG but now that I own one I can tell you it's bull $#@$@,, this gears it's awsome,,, it is plenty of strong it's so strong that I have been doing some harrier Landings with it and no problems at all!!!!
The reason I got it is because I wanted to get rid of some more weight,,, and I saved 1/2lb just on the gear, it also makes the plane look bigger since it's a littel bit taller than the stock alum. one!!
and Cobra1!!! what's trimming a plane????

Your my hero
. You can tell from your first vid to this one that your confort level and skill is more and more. I'm finally to the point also that I can and am confortable torque rolling my edge like a top only a couple feet off the ground
. Took a while (like 300 flights), but I finally think I have it dialed in. Also put in on a major diet which REALLY turned it into a new plane. Up until a week ago it weighed a whopping 21 lbs/ (lots of dead weight-1 1/2 lbs in the tail for balast, heavy gear now drilled out, heavy spinner now lightened, smoke-no more, 2 reciever batts-now one, extra wood for reciever try-gone, all stock wood for servo trays ect. now gone, servo in tail for balast. Now.it weghs 17lbs 10oz. with a full 16 oz tank. Flys completely better....way more nimble and pops out of a hover where before it felt very heavy hovering, sluggish, and just mushed up and out (Brison 3.2). I'm loving this plane even more so now
. With all carbon I will be in the 16"s with fuel and ready to fly....can't wait

yea!! i got a lot better with this plane since the miden flight!!!! I really lost count of how many flight I got i only keep track of how much fuel i use since it's much easier and so far i got like 6 gallons!!! and that's a lot of flying since it uses 16oz in about 20+ minutes!!! so it's a lot of hrs of flying!!!

My 1st flight I think it was at 4 1/4 or whatever the manual said for recomended CG but now I'm at 6'' and it could still be more tail heavy and be fine!!! I think this plane will fly just fine at 6 1/2'' or even 7''
