Default RE: CA Models Eclipse Gear mount

That's similar to what I was creating.

H shaped is more toward what I made.

I put tristock across the whole top on each fuse side.

On the bottom I was going to put small tristock on each (4) outer edges of the H and reinstall the 2 half horshoe formers and possibly add two more. I didn't want to make a solid former across so the pipe would fit and to save some weight. I put the plate flush with the top layer of balsa since it really didn't do anything anyway. Gives me maybe one less mm of ground clearance though. The tough thing about the design is that there is nothing to glue to directly under the plate because thats where the gear go. And there is no top former for bouncing up support


I also sanded up the fuse sides and used Hysol epoxy (loctite) to install the plate. Hopefully it holds
