Default RE: Super Sportster 40 Landing Blocks

Well, I got it back together and took it flying.
After two flights the same problem, the wheel wire was loose.
When I examined it same problem, that small bock came loose.
I attribute this to not being able to completely clear away the old glue.
I opened a small hole in the top to examine things and to apply pressure to the repair.
I was able to do a better job clearing the old glue out.
I also decided to replace the small block with a 2 1/2" long piece of cabinet grade 1/2" plywood.
This gave me a lot more glue surface. Then I screwed the bugger in with 2 #4 wood screws.

I got 3 flights in on Sunday and no apparent problems.

Thanks for all of the help,
