Status: offline 		Photos!! It is usually just a mater of installing a new LG block. To remove items that are epoxied in you just use your heat gun and melt or soften the epoxy to remove the parts. I have run into some ARFs that where I would have used epoxy they had used some unknown glue that wouldn't soften. When installing a new LG b lock you will also need some angle stock to reinforce the block with.
As I recall the main gear in that plane was in the wing? Not the fuse? Been a while but I recall it was pretty flimsy.
