Default Landing Gear

Just wondering... Anyone tryed to put a landing gear on the top of the plane? It would be nice to land inverted... ...with no damage

Or.... what about to be a little more excentric... and put a landing gear on the wing to make some knife edge landing, lol... Is it possible??

I've seen planes with landing gear on the top, but not on the wings. If you try it be sure to get some video.

When I was stationed at Edwards AFB my buddy made a 90 size funfly with landing gear on top and bottom. We thought it was cool for about a week, then he took it off.

Actually Kevin Harbrechts (used to be known as HSRCM planes) used to kit a plane called the wassup and it had landing gear on the top. You can get the plans from funaero.com I think.
