Default RE: Titanium landing gear legs

Well, I got eyeglass frames like that. Trouble is, you want to bend a "kink" into the wire, yet want it to not bend out of shape. My glasses won't allow that. Turns out that they "can't be fixed" by your average eyeglass place either. Seems that "you can't fix titanium" according to the average eyeglass places around here.

I'm guessing that the titanium gear isn't really very much like the titanium gear legs. But truth is, I got no clue, so.........

I'm waiting for someone who's had experience with those model airplane gear legs to wade into this thread with some real life observations.... just like you are.

(BTW, I wound up fixing my "unfixable" glasses myself. Tell ya what.... 50 years of building models teaches you to fix just about anything.)
