Nah, you could use a tower coupon...

Pardon, more than the plane, (before shipping!) ;-)

Anybody have a suggestion for me? I am going to need some landing gear soon for my profile slick project. I am guessing it is going to come in around 9-10 pounds and be running a 19 or 20" prop. If anyone knows how high the landing gear for a 71 slick is off the ground I would appreciate the info.

Edit: I should have checked 3dhs first. It says 6 3/4" high. Can anyone confirm that?

Thanks,

-Nate

Edit again: It looks like something like this might work... has anyone used them before? http://outlawhobbyproducts.com/tetherite-landing-gear-90-size.html

Nate that gear works great...I used that on my .40 sized profile kit. Very strong.

 

[SnowDog]

I used the smaller one of course

I have used Tetherite gear on several 6-8lb profile planes as well. Good stuff.
