Could you adapt an extra 260 30or50cc CF gear to it?

Looked at a few that know but my problem is that my fuselage is only 3 and 15/16 wide at that location. The landing gear that I have been able to measure has all been over 5 inch. Thanks for help and suggestion.

Pretty much done with the interior. Was nice getting out in the weather today. Love it when you can take the shop outdoors.

Did range test's and tweaked the tune. Going to fly it tomorrow .

HK has some CF profile gear. This one shown is for 60 size. I think they have a 120 size too which should work if that's what you want to do.

Thanks Bart. Hope to have great fun with it. I know a couple of mid 70ish types that will "point it all out" and show me "bunches" of love .

Will believe it when I see it. Will be cool to see the ole bird fly again!

There will be proof of flight either "on digital" or "in plastic" .

Beautiful job brother.

Thanks bunches....Not half bad for "stand off". And I'm telling the truth....The only parts of the kit used where seat cushions, dash, throttle housings, choke/carb heat recess plates and gas tank end. All the detail stuff was all my scrap junk that has been sitting in drawers for years. May not be exact scale but it's amazing how some creativity can overcome spending hundreds of dollars. There is a Cub / Super Cub
complete interior kit ready made that goes for over 200 and does not look as good IMO.

See! It's too small. lol

Got started on making my own cooling shrouds for the continental. Once completed should look authentic.
