hello guys,i am new to this forum and made my first plane-a coro dihedral trainer.
as this forum is for aeromodellers so i think my plane should be completely my made[DIY] .But i find many things we can't make
i too made my plane and today i do maiden my self made landing gear like always as tanmay's don;t support and plane was moving here and there.
many expert people here too order things like this
so finally we handlaunched it and it flies too

Build details for this undercarriage:

bad maiden
here are the videos
as long as i powered up the plane it took off nicely ,  gained an altitude of 15 or so feets , turned nicely BUT it was struggling to gain any further altitiude . that was the case for next 4 flights  and we thought something is wrong with cg something is wrrong with angle of attach  etc etc
BUT  when i reached hoome and checked battery voltage it showed 11.17 volts
now its charging .
will do anathor sortie and report.
although in all this process we had a very short taste of air .
thanks

@sanjayrai sir we too made a landing gear quite similar to your's which was cold welded by fevibond
sir what about wheels,will i make them from wood

Better to buy readymade wheels from a LHS. They last a long time, and can be moved from model to model. Ask Mr. Vivek Sharma, he can sell you some lightweight wheels

Fevibond? For cold welding steel?

Video???

@sanjayrai sir,we used spokes of cycle and yes cold welded it by fevibond.actually there was no problem in my landing gear,problem was the wheels,they were too small 0.5 or less diameter.And sir cold welding using fevibond was really strong.

@prabal can't post the video as i am not having 3g net but will post soon

Sir here are the pics of landing gear
