I was looking at the landing gear on the Internet and noticed that it's a two piece set up. I wondering if this also part of the problem. Two piece landing gears, basically try to rip the themselves out of the wing when a load is present. I especially see this on a hard landing. Where as a one piece gear evenly spreads the load thoughout the area where it's attached and then I would imagine the load is eventually travels throughout the rest of the wing.

When I start mine, I'm going to look into a one piece gear and beefing up the mounting plate where th gear attatches to the wing, plus fiberglassing the center section.

I have a World Models Midget Mustang that I fiberblass the center section and have been flying it for years and no problems. I did however go in and reinforce the landing gear area with additiona epoxy.

I agree with you all that an aircraft grade ply joiner has to be made and put in the wing.

I'll be talking to www.tntlandinggear.com/ whose the closest hobby shop that I'll shop at and see if they have a replacement gear for lancair or probably just have them bend up a one piece for me.

Agian, this is just my two cents. I'm a wannaBe Engineer.
