Since you are criticizing me personally I wish you would at least read what I have written. At no point did I even hint that my method was the correct method(if there is a such a thing). I merely stated that by bending cold (after I learned to put in an adequate inside radius) I have never had a failure in 30 years or so, and that the performance was about the same as I had seen with bent landing gear wire on the many kits I have built. I also pointed out that I don't have the room or equipment to heat treat. I don't need assurance from anyone that my method works. I just look at my landing gear. I probably make 10-20 landings for every tank of fuel and use about one gallon every 2 weeks with .46 size engines. My gear experiences a lot of landings. It surprise me at how rude you are considering that you write like you have some education.
