Flying in my club and practicing most of the time on a grass runway, I'm concerned about the landing gear strength .
Plywood quality is not always stable, so I will reinforce the landing gear plate as recommended by B.J., with thin CA.
When it's time to reinforce, first idea is to use carbon fiber. Looks nice, it's strong and light, and we can see a lot of guys using balsa laminated with carbon fiber for battery tray, pull pull rudder installation...
But considering EMI and some puzzling crash, adding the fact that some manufacturers don't recommend it, I will just use minimum carbon fiber if needed.
Safety first.
I don't want to install the receiver and the antennas in the vicinity of carbon.
