Default U Can Do 46 Landing Gear

I had the same problem with my U Can Do 46. Mine failed on a soft landing and destroyed covering as wheel pants penetrated wing. I beefed up the landing gear attachment by doing the following:

- mounted a piece of 1" hardwood behind the factory mount
- glued the hardwood reinforcement to fuse side panels and wing side
- put blind nuts on hardwood reinforcing wood
- installed longer gear attachment screws to reach the new blind nuts

I also removed wheel pants to limit damage to wing covering if it happens again. I haven't flow it since the repair.
