The Great Planes Revolver 60 ARF landing gear is not so great! The landing gear is poorly designed and is weak, breaks easily. I’m not the only person noting this. Many discussions and reviews on RC forums agree, the landing gear design is poor and a serious flaw of this otherwise beautiful sport plane. In this video series I figure out best way for me to fix mine after it failed.

I was lucky that this plane was not severely damaged when the landing gear broke off and the RC Plane skid across the runway. I was coming in for what believe was a relatively smooth landing, and the landing gear snapped off! As the plane slid down the runway the gear got caught up below the fuselage and broke holes in a few spots on the bottom of the fuselage. My repair solution is to replace the tiny plywood mounting plate supplied in the ARF with a larger plate reinforced with aluminum sheeting. I also replaced the cheep 2 piece landing gear from Great Planes with a solid one piece Dubro Landing gear. This plane is powered by an awesome Saito FA-91 glow engine.

Maybe you will find this interesting or possibly helpful if repairing similar issues on your RC plane.
