Default Converting landing gear question

Reinforcing the aluminum gear with music wire will give an extremely rigid undercarriage. The idea in wire gear and aluminum gear is to absorb shock and minimize bounce, so bracing aluminum gears with music wire will probably require a change in tire durometer (softness/hardness).

Usually, fixing one problem, causes another.


Sigh.......



Luck to all!!!
