Default RE: Building a Dynaflite Super Decathlon

Hi cruz,

Where you have sheeted your landing gear in, have you considered cutting the sheeting where it covers the gear and making a little removable block that follows the underside contour of your SD?
You could relatively easily cut a former for each end and then bolt in the little block. This way, you can remove the gear if you need to and if you have a mishap with the plane, damage is likely to be less.

I am posting a photo showing how a fellow RCU-er did this on his 33% SD. I did mine the same way.
