The thread works good. My slot for the landing gear split out badly. I used heavy sewing thread wrapped around the fuse and the portion of the gear that fits in the slot. I put some slow C/A glue on it. it holds really well. The downside is that if you need to move the wing for any reason, all of the thread must be cut away.

I guess it just doesn't 'read' right to me. bubba edit 24hrs later: You're just saying you've epoxy'd the gear in aren't you? |

Mine broke on a hard landing, epoxy it back with a piece of balsa to cover the whole plastic area, it came off on hard landings.
I use a screw and washer, cut a piece of rubber and put on the side of the washer to the mount, it seems to hold up pretty good. The LG wire bends most of the time at hard landings now. |

Dujara, The same thing happened to my Fathers Slow Stick. His fix was to just push the gear in the slot and drill a small hole up through it into the main aluminum stick and install a small screw and washer. He has had no further problems with his gear coming off. Might give it a try, quick and easy.

This gear is bent from some new wire but it would work fine with the stock gear. I have it attached with a screw in the middle and then wrapped it with kite string and soaked it with thin CA. It won't budge!!! I should probably take a razor and clean up the string a bit to make it look a little nicer but believe me when I say it doesn't move a bit!!
