RE: How to strengthen landing gear on a 1/4 scale GP PW?

What I did was use 3/16 piano wire bent into the same shape as the flat alum landing gear. You hold it in place by using 3/16 wheel collars as shown in the pictures below ( I hope). The 3/16 wire is of course, is one continous piece from left to right. Drill holes in the alum landing gear as shown, then put allen head screws thru and into the wheel collars. Adjust the lenght of the screws so that they tighten down on the music wire and the gear evenly.
