When I broke my landing gear just before a flight demo, I had to come up with something fast to repair it because there are no hobby shops near or that even carry the parts.
I used a large plastic jar lid (which I also found to be unbreakable) and made do as you see here. I also demo my orange floats to enhance visualization.
There was no glue needed for the skids as they push into the lid with a snug fit, so this landing gear can be made and installed fast. The bonus of my desire to make much of my own stuff, it saves me money too.
Please take a moment rate the video, subscribe, and stay tuned for more RC Television shows. Thanks kindly for all your support.
