Jeff,I build my undercarriage from the UK plans. It has survived quite well withmy landings, although I did buckle it on a ground loop (side ways into anearth bank). Check out http://www.cpc-world.com for some pictures, Page 5 ofthe Build pictures has the construction. The U/C and wing strut fittings arecombined. A steel strap underneath the fuse keeps both fittings together ina hard landing (I put one on the rear fitting as well).CheersPeterWonthaggi Australiahttp://www.cpc-world.com-----Original Message-----
