I build this plane about 6 months back. The wire landing gear design is so bad the at every landing it comes off. Can you plz. suggest what to do as every time I fly I have to work on it a lot.

You need to land more carefully!!!!

Does anyone have any mods for the gear. I hear it is very weak everywhere I go. Will start the build soon and would like to implement any changes now.
Thanks

I did not use the wire landing gear that came with it. Instead, I used a hangar9 aluminum landing gear. I attached it using three nylon bolts with blind nuts. I liked it very much so far because I do not have to worry about bending the LG. If I land too hard, the plane will bounce and I will have time to pull it up again and try one more time. I will post the photos tomorrow.

I finally got mine finished. Should maiden next weekend if not before.

I never had problems with my dazzler landing gear. With Dazzler it's easy to make a smooth landing, there's no excuses to replace the landing gear

I have airplanes with wire landing gear and normally I do not bend them. However, landing with crosswinds of 15Mph (~20Kmh) is quite fun and most of the time is when you end up bending the wires. Specially when gusty winds lift or drop your plane as you approach the runway.
