Default RE: Build A Bullet Proof Stryker (Brushless Or Stock)

I tried setting up a fixed landing gear on my old Styker air frame last summer and it was a disaster. Crumped the landing and punched a hold through the rear housing near where the motor mount starts.
Don't belive the foam can take the impact - or too many - and you have to get the wheel dead straigh or it'll crab on landing and flip.
Like Tam says, this F27 is just not meant for this without massive, MASSIVE, modification, to the point where the finished product would no longer be an F27 - merely a vessel that flies.
Still, I wish you well in your endeavours. Love to see a pic/video posted if you ever get it to slip the 'surly bonds of earth'.
Isn't this weather a bit Tam - no Stryker action for months and barely a chance to fly my new heli - and that does need real calm weather.
