I’m just getting into the group, but have been reading for awhile. I’m currently building the classic and going with the Scarlet 9 radial. The wings are mounted for fit at this time and currently working on turtle deck.. anyway, the plans I’m working from are from 2002… I took over a bunch of collected unbuilt parts last year. What updates do I need to modify the landing gear? The engine mount will be made by Scalebirds..

I'm mounting the Rotec R3600. I just used the regular gear. If I use the recommended 84" propeller I should have 9" clerance.
