RE: BRIO Construction by the numbers
Note that the inside screw is taken off of the top landing gear plate. Between these and the respective screws its about 2/3 of an ounce weight savings. This is a relatively easy task using a large file, putting a diagonal groove along the line until its about half way through and then using some pliers to breat off the piece. Its really easy installing the landing gear from this point. Step 1 push the landing gear in. Step 2 install the screws easily, Setp 3 work the landing gear back and the screws fall right into the holes.
