landing
gear
is
made
from

music
wire
and
is
attached
to
plywood
cross
members
in
the
fuselage
using

the
center
of

ʹ
s
span

the
fixed
axle
with
Kevlar
thread
and
epoxy.
Rubber
bands
are
applied
to
both
ends
of
this
floating
axle
where
the
wheels
attach
act
as
shock
absorbers.
The
bands
should
go
around
both
the
fixed
and
floating
axle.
Finally
attach
the
wheels
to
the
ends
of
the
floating
axle.
