Apparently I had a bit rougher landing than I realized last weekend. On my next flight the gear on my SV11 stayed on the ground on takeoff. I went ahead and flew out the pattern. While flying I found that I really liked the look of the plane without the gear. So, I’ve been considering my next build with retracts. Pros and cons? I know easy with electric power but could be a real headache with glow power.
Second question, more curiosity than anything. What are the benefits of suspended bellcranks versus mounted on a platform? Foam wings it’s kinda obvious but on a built up wing I’m not seeing any real reasons. I have noticed virtually all designs in the last 20+ years use them.
Thanks, Matt
