Balsa USA Stingray with DLE-20, RC Plane Build N0 15: Landing Gear

Welcome to my build series of the Balsa USA Stingray RC plane kit. The Stingray 120 is a great trainer and sport rc plane with an 83-inch wingspan and powered by a DLE-20 RC gas rc plane engine. I will be using a Futaba transmitter system with with Futaba or Hitec servos and receiver. This plane is designed for .80 to .90 2-stroke glow engines, .90 to 1.20 4-stroke glow engines, and 15cc to 30cc gas engines. I will be using basic techniques of building rc plane balsa kits (or at least the techniques I have learned to build rc planes). All of these videos will be placed on a playlist. In this video I show how to install the landing gear on the plane. I decided not use the wire landing gear supplied in the but to you a carbon fiber landing gear from Flight Model. The Flight Model carbon fiber landing gear comes in different sizes. Here I am using the LGZX260#26CC-CF1 model number. In order to install the Flight Model landing gear, I have to modify the landing gear mounting plate. I use a piece of plywood cut to fit and I use machine screws and tee nuts to attach the landing gear. I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes (RC Planes) for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community, so I started RC Plane Tech channel for fun. I am not an expert, there are many different techniques when building radio control planes. A good way to learn about flying and building rc planes is to see what others are doing, that's what I do and that's why I like to share what I do. Thanks for watching my channel. Hopefully you will find my videos a little interesting and perhaps fun to watch.    / @jamesrcplanetech
