Hello Everybody,
as I am new to RC iI just bought and assembled the Bixler
Before my first flight (it's windy down here in Poland now) I'd like to protect, somehow, my trainer because I suppose I will crash a lot!
My idea is to build simple langing gear made of bended metal rod with wheels attached on front, and one wheel mounted at the end of the plane.
But firstly as I have no needed spare I tried to glue some foam bumpers.
What I did You can check on the photos.
My question is if that stuff can fly?
Does extra foam stripes can cause changes to plane's aerodynamics so it would be hard or impossible to fly?
Extra weigth introduced by extra foam attached is low.
Plane is balancet to be little bit nose heavy (for beginners best they say).
thanks for any comments or hints on landing gear buildup/attaching ideas.
