 2. Use medium grit sandpaper to sand an angle
on one end of each of the two 6

x 3/32-inch
(175mm x 2.5mm) carbon rods. This angle should
be around 45-degrees and will allow the carbon
rods to fit against each other to provide a much
stronger landing gear assembly.
 3. Test fit the two carbon rods in the aircraft as
shown. Once the fit is acceptable, and the airframe
will sit level, use foam-safe CA to glue the carbon
rods into position. Allow the CA to fully cure before
proceeding.
 4. Test the fit of the two wheel skids on the ends of
the carbon rods. The skids will be parallel to the
fuselage when installed correctly. Use thin CA to
glue the skids to the carbon rods.
