Thanks G.G! My plane came with the updated prop hubs so no issue there. I'm about 4 hrs in on assembly so far, doing my best to keep wire management nice & tidy but not having much luck with that lol... It's nice control surface servo wires come labeled but unfortunately the lighting wires aren't labeled so there's a lot of testing and labeling on the fly to be done as I'm getting the little blue box wired up. I'd probably already have this bird built by now if it wasn't for the fact my wife's kitten is obsessed with any project I have going, always getting right up in the middle of things. Damn cat got up in my business a few weeks ago while changing the oil in my truck, got covered in old oil, the little monster turned into Freddy Kruger when getting the sludge washed off yet still persists in "helping" with everything I do around the house.
I *should* have this thing fully assembled this evening. I'm upgrading the rear landing gear right off but I'm going to leave the nose wheel gear stock at least at first to help prevent the props from hitting the ground until I'm accustomed to the landing characteristics of the bird. I have landing tail draggers down to an art, don't have hardly any experience in landing tricycle gear planes but for my understanding they're far easier than tail draggers.
