Ok just a small update the plane has been moved from the shop to the garage. Battery checked and charged fuel tank check and the motor setup started and set the idle, so I am just waiting for the perfect day to do the new maiden Flight.

PROGRESS!!!

Ok the plane got re maidened today , you all know the difficulties I had with the first flight it was almost put into the ground three times before I managed to get it back down. Absolute nightmare mare to fly. Stripped it and was ready to scrap the plane, but did not after a lot of research and calculations I decided that all the problems were from the rudder and stabilizer. Well after putting a new redesigned tail section on the plane it got tested today and everything went PERFECTLY could not be happier. Just need to do some minor radio trimming and mixing and I believe I have a winner.
Tried to up load the pictures but could not sorry.

Ok after a couple of flights the gear is starting to spread out. Not good and did not have a hard landing. So decide to add some helper springs, I think they are around 60 lbs per inch no specs on the seller listings so took a chance.
The gear is made from 3/16 - 6061-T6 aluminum if this does not work will have make new gear from 1/4 or 5/16 not sure will first see how this works, do not want to bend up 1/4 inch thick gear.
