Warbirds and Robo Struts
OK, he was thinking of the plastic cover-ups you can get for small planes. I put a set of struts on a Dynaflite PT-19. You install the wire gear as normal but then cut the leg off about 1/2 in. past where it comes out of the wing. Take your Dremel and grind a flat spot on it that is parallel to the wheel and slip the strut on and tighten the set screw. Very easy and it only takes a couple minutes. Use some high quality loc-tite on your set screws. They smooth out a rough grass field very well. After a whole summer of flying I never had a set screw come loose.
