.....oops, mebbe that flat plate is part of the gymble assembly after all.....my mistake...anyway the landing gear is good....wouldn't take much tomake up that plate for it..

Yea..that looks ok....I saw these trainer wheels in the US..worked well while i was learning, then cut them down 'till they just cleared the landing gear, now I got rid of them..just rubber bands under the motor mount to a plastic rod set in the bottom holds them on..saved my gear once in a nasty crash

Good old pool noodle!!

My only concern with the ones I posted above is they may be a bit flimsy for the weight of the copter. If so.. I will bite the bullet and get one from the UK.

I have now hot glued a 3 inch piece of noodle to the end of each landing strut..softens the blow & provides stability in long grass

Nah mate, I was using RL but through a hardwired module and the normal servo wires onboard the plane. Now I use my DX8 through the trainer port and its flawless. I could never get my head around the er9x so I sold it off.

Looky what I have just spotted at BEVRC

Still a great though

Although my FPV geatr is yet to mounted I'm still getting some onboard footage an thought I'd share a bit.... Just an EZ*, cam and LOS flying.

Early morning over Lake Hume, Vic.

I like er9x but just spent a few nights trying to get a mix right for mode switching for ardu pilot. I got there eventually but it took quite an effort. Was probably more me than the er9x though...right Narcas?
