Gday Kieran
The gear would stay off if I am hand launching, I'd love to get into retracts however I have sort of resigned myself to the fact that due to the dirt bike morons the field is going to be "rough" most of the time.
Skids would be a easy no brainer build for that airframe. The forums suggest that the nosewheel explodes when you breath on it so may as well not install.
May also consider the bungee launch however that looks quite scary. Having said that I am sure Darren would be willing to train me up in the techniques associated with that and it is something I would like to learn.
Cheers
