Hi
I built the Baronette several years ago and fixed the u/c wing for the same reason as David.
One thing I did find, whilst it was great to fly and land, take offs were always a bit scary. The throttle needed to be advanced very gently or a ground loop was guaranteed. Even so, ground steering on take off was very difficult. I carried out the fixed brass tube mod, with the wheels locked to the piano wire axle, which rotated in the tube. This reduced the ground loop to a minimum and improved steering to normal levels. You do need to align to the runway on landing as there is no steering on final run out, but this is a small price to pay.
Best of Luck.
