FT Simple Cub landing gear mount

thingiverse

I've had a run-in with the included landing gear mount for the FT Simple Cub, and I can tell you it didn't fare well on a rough landing - the gear tore right through the paper and foam. So, I came up with this design, making sure it's the same size as the original foam piece. Don't forget to open up the slot a bit on each side at the edge using a razor blade for your landing gear wire. Given my experience with hot glue not working too well with 3D prints, I opted for superglue to attach this mount to the landing gear wire instead. If you notice that your landing gear mount is tearing away at the foam of the fuselage, consider printing out this addition to distribute the weight evenly across the bottom of the plane. This will ultimately help prevent further damage to the foam. Weight distribution tips: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2435074
