Are you using laminated deprton then you need to use a more powerfull setup as the thing is very heavy.

Frame is just 312g and total AUW will be around 410g where my motor will produce 440g of thrust so good 1:0.9 thrust to weight ratio best for slow flyer

I don't think anyone consider it as an interesting build but i love this plane cause it's an old timer  ;D

Anyway here are the landing gears i have done today did experiment with alloy,plastic and normal steel wire but this looked and appealed best  :)

@topalle
if i started with the tracing of plan on foam on 8th and posted final pics on 11th isn't it clear that it would have completed in that time gap only ???
