Well---I got home to install the nose retract unit and in the stock position the retract unit has to be mounted where a good portion of it sticks out of the plane...[:@]...I could have modified the...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I'm using 2 3/4" wheels without brakes---I may put brakes on it later....I don't need brakes on the grass field that I fly from as the grass will slow the plane down just fine. This plane is just a...
