Bending gear forward on a GP .60 STUKA?
Hi folks,
I have the GP .60 Stuka, only flown twice, had serious nose over issues and busted a small part on the motor. Motor fine now, but want to fix the nose over.
My question is, where should I make a bend in the landing gear? Close to the wing, or close to the axle? I cannot make the bends in the wing attatchment portion of the gear because it fits in to the wing at two points and would not work right I do not think. About 3/4 of the way up the gear it branches, was thinking about making the bend right at that point.
Any thoughts? The plane is a sweet flier, be ashamed to keep flipping over.
Thanks,
Dan
