For that kind of flying, just remove the landing gear. It won't do you any good, anyway. Put a layer of packing tape on the bottom of the fuse and the leading edge of the wing. You'll lose weight by omitting the gear and the tape will add minimal. I actually flew my E-Starter without the landing gear or the wingstruts and found that the loss of the weight and drag of these items acvtually made the plane fly better.....JMHO...Pat
