Default U Can Do landing gear block!!!!!

I flew my U Can Do yesterday, but on my first attempt the motor
was idling too high so I thought I would turn from the paved runway onto the grass at about 5 mph and the landing gear block sheared right off. Needless to say I was a little miffed as
everything that could go wrong while building this thing did. I have never had so many goofy things happen while building an airplane or should I say assembling one. I thought I would post this as a warning to those who are building one or are flying one
already.

The block appeared to have been hot glued on to the fuse.
I would suugest to either screw it on or at least try to strengthen
it with something (epoxy or ca) triangle stock etc.


It did fly great and lands like a trainer I would like to thank everyone for posting their mods on this forum as I used most of them ( pull pull on rudder, tank on cg,4-40 rods, added right thrust)

Thanks Doc
