Well I got my Eflite Super Cub landing gear cleaned up, was going to remove the white paint with bead blasting but the guy that did it for me decided to use electrical cleaner and boy did it work nicely. Started fitting them to the fuselage but haven't fastened everything down properly as I have to anyway remove it to cover the opening in the legs as well as for spraying. This gear has quite the bungee system, it uses four of these bungees on each leg.
