Default RE: GOLDWING MX2

I dont know anyone making cut to size standoffs but if you cut yours to fit and you need the standard size later you can buy replacements from tower later or add the correct size plywood or barstock alumn. spacers. As for L/G reinforcement picture I dont have a camera,however, I used triangle stock in the pipe tunnel and tank area.I ran plywood as reinforcement veretically 1/8" or smaller if handy to reinforce the former at the front of the tank and a piece across the bottom lip at the top of that former. You can see 2 screw heads holding the gear alumn. brace on each side I used triangle stock vertically in this area 4 pcs. total for the 2 sides, use plenty of ca in the ends to harden the balsa tri. stock. You will probally only gain a couple of oz. in weight but I feel it will keep the gear from ripping the belly out on a hard landing....Maybe someone else has a better Idea or some pictures they can share on how they did it. Good luck.........Jim
