Eventually

how much you charge me to build this aircraft both ways water and fixed landing gear!!!

nice plane, but using that $2k Ghostbusters ECTO-1 replica as a shelf to set junk on is just wrong.........

it's not that replica, it's even bigger than that, the scale is 1:4.5 and made out of foam, check my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYrPZ6ihi5efkK8

Bicycle Spokes! All this time, the perfect sized landing gear wire was right in front of my eyes! Man, my bike-rider neighbor is gonna be maaaad I've got planes to build!

[@Jay-zc7iq]

I know ! Yea hen I realised I was like shit! I got tons of those , work perfectly especially if you bend it keep the nipple in the end acts as a wheel stop

[@jiero7918]

how strong is the paper tube, will it last for a year of everyday flying? it is hard to find a tube that is perfectly fit to other tube

[@JuliusPerdana]

Paper tube just to guide the carbon tube, its doesn't have structural function.

[@jiero7918]

@@JuliusPerdana thanks, I think at first it handles the stress between of the wings and fuselage, so Wing Ribs is the main support for the wingspar?

yes that's correct
