Thanks Michael, now I got the picture. I never thought about sticking the wire into the wheel because if you did it that way the wheel wouldn't roll! ...wait a minute, the wheel won't roll because we glue it in any case:D

Unfortunately Don, there is a template of the wire for the landing gear and it is a straight line. So if I bent it into any form that would break my out-of-the-box policy. I am looking forward to see how your approach turns out with your Shoki. And thanks for the tip about stiffening the joint between the wing and the landing gear. I will follow your advice in the next build. This time, I already closed the wing and I must come up with something else. I will probably use some super glue to stiffen the joint.

Thanks,
Shinji
