I think you are better off ordering from Hobby King, this kind of items are never in stock at our LHS  :banghead:

I'm doubtful if the stock setup would have enough power to take off from ground. Also, I feel that the landing gear you have posted would not create sufficient angle of attack for ground take off.

For landing i suggest use something like this, reply #16 (http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/easy-glider-pro-with-removable-tail/msg79603/#msg79603), works better than wheels :thumbsup:
