Default RE: BME Aircraft 30% Extra330L

I've had some cracking issues also, so I installed a wire between the wheels about 4" up and the gear is holding up fine now. I do want to go to a carbon fiber gear soon just to save some weight, not that its a problem now. I'm using carbon on other planes and I like it. I use a wire on them also. The best is to drill and install a couble 4/40 eyelets about 4" up from the wheels, then use some HD pull pull kevlar cable to keep the wheels from spreading too much on landings. Works great and its light.
