Default Help with LG on Magnum

Just curious... Why by a plane built for belly-landing when you have no where to land it?

The Magnum will have no problem taking the extra weight of the landing gear (Mine weights in at 2,8 kilos with the smokefluid, smokepump, etc..), but if the engine stops i suspect you'll have big problems with the extra drag caused by the LG...

The Magnum is a lot of things, but it is certainly not a glider..


I would suggest using some form of plastic skids under wingtips and fuselage, rather than installing LG on it.
