I'm planning on using 1/4 piano wire to reinforce my landing gear on that plane. B&B Specialties have the standoffs you need to set this up:

LANDING GEAR REINFORCEMENT STANDOFFS

Our L.G.R.S. provides you with an excellent way to beef up your landing gear. They come in a package of 4 with self-locking nuts. We have found them useful on many of the Giant Scale Models. The sheet metal landing gears found in many kits are simply inadequate for rough landings. You are constantly rebending and straightening. Our standoffs are easy to install on the strut. A length of 3/16" or 1/4" diameter music wire (not furnished) is required. Painting the reinforcement standoffs and wire the color of the strut will help hide them. We have hardened Wheel Axles, Wheel Collar Pants Mounts, and Wheels to complete your landing gear requirements.





Specify 3/16" OR 1/4" SIZE $8.95
