I have already experienced the lack of glue on the landing gear blocks. This is the first time I have seen a two piece block. They did a great job of forming the wooden parts in the wing but then didn't put any glue on them. I had one block come loose so I opened up the wing and epoxied the parts in. On the other side I ran some CA down into the hole in the block. So far it has stayed together well. What did you replace the main gear wires with? Did you use a prefab landing gear or did you bend up new ones yourself. The nose gear is not a problem and is preforming well. It's just the main gear that seems very soft.

Yah, the stock metal gear isn't too strong and bend easily and once bent, even easier. I made these for replacements. I may make a bunch of them if there is a market. Maybe paint them. One day, I'll go to retracts maybe.
