Working with landingear. Lot of thinking to make something who could seem alike original, but still dont ruin whole wing/plane if get to hard landing. Found a way after a while. Wheelcovers are in fact plastic onetime-use spoons... ;)
Also all 4servos are in place.

Never would have thought to use spoons - that’s clever! It looks sweet!

@The Hangar , it was an easy ay to get the rounded covers. I piece of flat foam in middle, spoons on both sides. :giggle:
It wouldnt fit on anyone though.. it depends on size of plane. a touch small here too, but did goes ok.

The landing gear is 2 ss rods, with a tape bite around, making an edge, to get it look wider, and more as a gearstruts.

@leaded50 - in this picture are you using cardboard (brown stuff on the rear) to make a pattern for the rear of the plane or is the cardboard the fuselage?
