I'm at work at the moment but I'll try to get some digital pictures of the gear tonight. Glad that your cowl lasted, mine started to crack after the 2nd flight. After bascially pasting every surface on the inside with fiberglass and epoxy to prevent more cracks, I just replaced it and haven't had any futher problems.

The problem with the gear is the same as with all the crap wire that comes out of the Chinese factories these planes are made at, the wire is to soft. Not anywhere near being what I would actually call music wire. It isn't just with this plane but all the GP ARF's that I've seen. However, in the case of the spacewalker, with a wire brace between the wheels I haven't had any more problems. GP's isn't the only company whose gear are "soft" as the wire all these far east factories use, seem to come from the same source.

For instance, just look at the postings for the GP GeeBee, people are reporting the gear is a bit weak. So now Robart has stepped up to the plate with a $130 replacement. I can understand the need for companies like GP to get their aircraft built as inexpensive as possible but I fail to understand why they have continued for years now, to let something as critical as the landing gear continue to be made with, IMO, sub-standard wire. Well, enough of the soap box, sorry about that.
