The gear is one piece that was supplied by T-N-T Landing Gear http://www.tntlandinggear.com/. In the photo it bolts to the two pieces of 1"x1"x1/8" aluminum angle in the corners of the engine box.
For the wires I plan to use DuBro landing gear straps for the fittings, 2-56 nylon clevis with the pin removed and drilled for a 2-56 button head screw, 2-56 rigging connectors and .032" stainless steel down rigger cable with crimps, the cable and crimps come from the salt water fishing shops that I buy when on vacation. They are functional. I am using this arrangement on my other One Design of the same size as this build and is shown in the photo below, well that's not totally true, it looks like the one below, that one when to landfill some time ago! The one shown below was designed by Bob and Robert Godfrey, father and son team from Precision Aircraft. They built many planes for the TOC long before ARF's came on the scene.
I seen the red, white, black plane fly at Oshkosh WI many years ago when it first hit the scene. It was shown on the 2/94 Sprot Aviation cover.
