Got the painting all but done, silvered the wheels....Will do a little weathering tomorrow and add rivet lines. Waiting on Callie Graphic delivery later this week.

Tnscoot I've been waiting for someone to do a scheme like this! Good choice!!

Had some fun painting the cockpit and doing a few mods to it, got paint done, still needing alot of touch up.

TC, Lovin' the Gray/Green Camo. Great mods in the Cockpit and on the Pilot as well. As for touch-ups....well, Sir, "there in lies the rub." I hear ya. Best, LB

Just started on my Spitfire, going for a total repaint in Russian Scheme...Wanted to do something different and my first foam repaint and mod, starting off by giving the whole thing approx 6 coats of Poly and sand between coats, will give updates as the project continues.

Plano0412. Dont get me wrong please. The gear are as strong as they come and with anytbing there are limits and thats what i was trying to point out for gear to start hanging and not function reliably after use. No foam airplane i own has not developed some sort of quirk after numerous flights from my home field. It is very rough and uneven with potholes ( been trying to get them to get a load of dirt and i would fix). So no there not bullet proof but they are pretty darn good. Hope this clarifies things a little better. And i really proud myself on my landings. Cheers my friend dont let it stop you from getting one.:)

great day to get out early

Also if you you are flying off of grass or have had some hard landings the gear gets bent and needs to be tweeked back in place. Most common especially if there was no trouble out of the box and before you started flying it. Flying off of grass really requires good landing because of the force and drag of the grass and then compound that with some bouncey landings is a sure fire recipe for gear hanging. If flying off smooth runway some landing hiting hard will also do the trick. If you haven't been flying it though then the advice Dan gave you is pretty spot on.

Is that something other people can confirm? Having read this thread, I was just about to pull the trigger, but then I read this statement that annoys me. I've been flying the Eflite Razorback for 9 months with some 100+ flights and 300+ landings, all of them on grass and not all of them smoothly. No bent legs at all so far, the only thing I experienced were some stress cracks in the foam of the wing, which I repaired with some glue before worse things happen. The legs of my Durafly Mk5b Spit are very sensitive, I would subscribe to the a.m. statement wrt the DF Spit. Is it really also true for the FLRC 1200mm Spit?

[Rick227]

Fly my Admiral 4000 as far forward as I can get it practically.....works for me!!

[Flying Squirrel]

try loosening off the screws that mount the L/G to the wing. I had the same thing with some of my birds, you'll find that one of the screws will tend to pinch it too tight, a small shim between the gear and the wing can solve that. Also, I know that when I changed out the retract sides, I had to play with the screws that hold the unit together (through the retract sides) as overthightening them can cause gear retract failure as well, they just have to be snug, not tight.

Hope that helps.

Having problems with landing gear, very intermittent. One wheel down hit and miss for both to come down. Ideas?
