I discuss land gear in my thread:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_93..._2/key_/tm.htm
But after one hard landing those ply rails were still torn out. I have had to fix about 10 times. I have to keep epoxy in blind nuts onto ply but is weak and fails on hard landings. I do believe putting the doubler on the F-4 (or F-5?) part helped but those rails suck. I do not know how I would do it next time to avoid this terrible design issue.
Thanks chemie. Landing gear always seem to be a problem. I guess those that are designing these planes and providing the build material are all much better fliers!! I'll plan on looking at that part and get it beefed up and if Ido bend or break them, I'll make sure they are easily repaired in the field.
