UCD 3D Thread II--Flight, Setup and Mod editon
I had a problem with my landing gear block breaking out with a hard landing. Hardly even seemed glued in. I got some fiberglass tape, cut 2 1 inch wide by 4 inches long pieces of modeling plywood, drenched the fiberglass in epoxy, applied the fiberglass strips first, then the plywood strips down the sides of the fuse in behind the wing dowel holes. I then ringed the area inside with epoxy drenched fiberglass tape about 1 inch in. I then placed a strip of drenched fiberglass tape down one side of the inside fuse, ran it up and around the outside of the landig gear block,and carefully fitted the landing gear block in place, dangling the fiberglass stripinto the other side of the hole. I then reached in with a log thin tool and plastered the dangling piece in place just like the other side. I am DETERMINED that if the plane goes in at 120mph from 500 feet that the only thing left will be the entire landing gear area!!!!
