I've flown my Logo 5003D a few times and it's basically impossible to keep the landing gear tubes in position. I noticed in the videos that Finless did that his gear had a provision for set screws. Mine do not have that and it looks like the replacement part MIK2495 doesn't either. The manual calls for adding some CA, but from what I've read, that doesn't work very well. I've seen a couple of threads on alternate landing gear. The JR ones look good, but do they have a provision for the set screw. I suppose I could drill and tap the gear for set screws, but I don't think there is enough material for that.

Thanks.

Earlier kits didn't have a set screw and newer ones do. I drilled a small hole through the skid and tube then used a corse phillips machine screw.

I did the same as Lithiumstatic. Problem solved.
