RE: Lr-1 wish list
Samtech, on the landing gear, carbon fiber would be great. I used the Doddger gear on my F3D-30 because it was available. If you are seriously contemplating molding a completely all-composite airplane, making a negative mold off of a Doddger or similar aluminum landing gear should be a piece of cake for you. Might as well mold a recess for the gear into the fuselage while you're at it; on the F3D-30 the gear is a bolt-on afterthought, and not faired in at all. Of course, if you move the gear to the wing, there are plenty of commercially available (straight, not raked) aluminum and carbon fiber gear on the market, and there would be no need to make your own. Personally, I would prefer the gear mounted to the fuselage, but that's just me, and not a deal-breaker.
