Ryan, I have a question for you. Are the stock tires foam or rubber. I know foam tires help keep the weight down but I find they create flat spots if a model sits on them for a while. Can you measure the diameter of the stock tires for me? If they are foam, I'm thinking Sullivan Sky Lite tires or Dubro lite tires may be a solution to foam tires. Maybe it is not an issue with foamy planes but they sure do go flat on some of my gassers.

I'm actually thinking of modding my Stinger struts with trailings links, maybe the ones from this Avanti. I have trailing links for my Venom that I think I got from one of the bigger Freewing jets and they transform the Venom to a much better landing plane.
I agree the training links on the mains are awesome! I wish the S90 came with them.

You know if you come in a little hot it bounces back and forth of the ground.:( I cracked my front end completely off on the Scorpion landing on our grass field bouncing back and forth. :Whew:

Having two red sport jets in their line-up would have been a no-no, ha-ha. I was getting sick of that. A was hoping for a yellow or green one, and thankfully one of them happened with this Avanti. Red color schemes still look great and I like many of them, but was more than ready to see something different. :Cool:
