Ziptie landing struts where?

[MiniCwik]

Okay I have heard/read about zipties being used to secure the landing struts to the frame, how I wondered how/where?

I did do a search but did not come up with definitive results.

Thanks

Could anyone explain ?

Saved my skids and frames mulitple times. See the holes where you screw the skids on? 4 on the skids? 4 on the frame? Line them up and zip tie them up tight.

I'll show a pic when I get home.

I'm guessing you need to ream out the holes a bit to get a zip tie through? I was just thinking... I keep a lot of short zip ties around that I've cut off of models. You can stick a short zip tie through the hole, and then put just a zip tie head on the other end. Make any sense?

Sly, draw one of your official NTSB pics, that will get the point across, lol :P

It cant be that hard to imagine how to do it lol, but knowing your doing it right makes all the difference.

Another option that others have mentioned is using plastic machine screws ( available at local hardware store ) to secure the landing gear.

Sweet plan ferret. That way they would pop off a bit easier, and be a little nicer to look at.
