How to strengthen landing gear on a 1/4 scale GP PW?
Hello everyone,
I recently crashed my Great Planes PW 1/4 scale extra300, and all the front part was destroyed and the landing gear was expanded and softened. I rebuild the plane and now it weighs in at 20 pounds. The landing gear was suffering before, and now with this much extra weighed I'm sure it is not going to take it.
I also know that a lot of the guys are buying the CF gears, but because I live outside the USA I'm not in a position to order online. So I was wondering if you kind gentleman's could perhaps suggest some kind of a method to strengthen the landing gear without loosing too much flexibility.
Could I perhaps try something like the picture below? or probably wrap a layer of fiberglass around the landing gear? any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanking you all in advance,
Mohammad Reza.
