The landing gear in the E Sakitumi drawing has 2 holes for mounting to the fuselage, but the supplied gear has 3 holes. In order to center the holes on the hardwood block, the gear needs to be mounted about a half inch lower than in the drawing. Or the gear can be mounted in the location shown in the drawing, with new holes drilled. Which way is better? If I drill new holes, is there a good way to fill the old holes so that it would still look like the aluminum?
John: With the nose ring installed, a 2826 motor is too long to slide in from the side because the motor shaft will hit the nose ring. That's why the nose ring would have to be installed after the motor is in place. Then, to replace the motor, the nose ring would have to be cut off and then re-installed after the motor is replaced.
