So I finally got around to finishing the printed landing gear for my Cessna. I originally wanted to print a mount for the support struts, but I decided against it, since I did not trust the connection by epoxy straight onto the side of the fuselage.Instead, I went for a tested and tried combination of BBQ skewers and rubber bands, and the result feels way more solid than I'd hoped for. Take a look at the video to see the abuse it handles. I may need to add a second pair of rubber bands across to stiffen up the suspension, but all in all I am very satisfied with how the gear assembly performs!
