Ever since I placed the nylong bolts in, I have ripped my landing gear out about 3 times now and haven't damaged anything (except the firewall the other day).
Ever since I have fiberglassed my landing gear, I have done it 0 times. This has to be done.

First cutback Monkote as per pic. Then first fiberglass/epoxy around the landing gear and up 2 inches on the side. Then epoxy over the wall that supports the single wing dowel. Then place another piece of fiberglass over that wall and wrap around on top of the other fiberglass even to the front of the plane and other strip of glass. Then another layer of epoxy over everything. After epoxy dries, sand and hit with paintbrush white. If you sand it nice .. you will not even notice this. REMEMBER it is just as important to re-enforce that wing dowel wall as it is the landing gear.

Most important ... it works, and works WELL.
