Cold today.

I've been making and trying landing gear on the Banshee as the position of the blocks in the wing were placed in the strongest place which is at the spar and at the balance point. Two sets of wire gears bent and discarded plus one set of sheet aluminum gear that didn't work out. I made a second set of aluminum gear and this one will work. I had a lot of trouble getting the angle of the bend right so the wheels would be forward of the wing leading edge. I also took weight off the nose to see how it will react. Too cold to test it today.
I went to the field yesterday and the ground was wet. I got out without getting stuck but not by much.
