Bloody Baron landing gear

[superdave63]

Has anyone put landing gear on their bloody baron? If so, will you post what you did, maybe with pics also?

I didnt put landing gear on mine. Doesn’t really need it. Landing gear on foamboard airplanes doesn’t tend to last long.

But that means you're belly landing on your battery correct?

You can stuff a 2200 mAh 3S/4S inside the power pod. That is what I usually do.

If you have a 3D printer or know someone who does, this is the one that I put on mine.

Yep. I land on grass so it works fine.

In the build video they only use 1 bbq skewer in the back and none in the front. I recommend putting one kinda in the middle and use that to put a rubber band to hold your battery on. This plane is more than capable of ejecting a battery that’s only Velcro’d on.
