I am going to try to use fiberglas cloth and epoxy on the plastic trim piece that is on each wheel . I can laminate that to the metal landing gear "framework " I am also going to use the extra metal piece that is shown in this thread .. that should be pretty strong then ..
I will try to post pictures as it goes along ... Thanks for the Idea on the extra bracing rod .. Don J.

Hello , This will be the first time I have tried to post pictures on tis website .. I hope it works .. This pic shows the landing gear "Strut?" I added 2 layers of fiberglas mat and the 3 small pieces of carbon fibre rod .. It is real strong now and connected to the landing gear metal "Arm".. Thanks to you all the super cub will be idiot proof strong "I Hope" Thank You , Don J. ![]() [/img] |

I use imageshack, you don't have to register.
the synatx is just like you used above... with the two img tags. Put the "direct link" in the middle of those two image tags. It should work.

diverdon, On the photobucket site right under your picture that you want to post there are several links. Copy the one that says IMG code. Paste that html code in your message and the picture should show up.

WOW !!! It worked what an accomplishment !!! This is a pic of the "Strut" with 2 layers of fiberglas cloth and 3 pieces of carbon fibre ... All Laminated with Epoxy to the Wire piece or the landing gear ... IT IS STIFF .Now ... You can see where I used a sharpie marker to draw out where to cut the glass cloth .. I might paint the whole thing white when its done ... But it is SURE Stiff now ...

Landing Gear Complete with extra strut to the rear .. I am thinking the weak point will be right at the axel where the wheel attaches to it .. This is really way overkill for the normal person who can land an aircraft but for me it just MIGHT help ...
