Flite Test Tutor Landing Gear Support

thingiverse

Landing Gear support for the Flite Test Tutor The foam landing gear support ripped out on a "hard landing" (definitely not a crash, no-sir-ee) so I designed a new one to 3d print for added strength. It does require a fairly sharp bend in the 2-2.5mm wire to fit without sanding, so I suggest bending with a vise. Bolts are M3 Slides right in, just use some glue along the sides and some tape to seal the bottom up and keep everything in place while the glue dries. I tried to keep it 1:1 with measurements from my pontoon kit. Wires will still bend without additional support, but now the wires won't rip out of the bottom of the craft. Keep in mind this does come with added risk of fuselage damage, since instead of ripping out the bottom, that force travels up the supports.
