Thank you for your post, will take on board what you have suggested and take another look at the SD Greenley U/C. Because the U/C on the SD Greenley has been tested for years and thousands of landings, makes sence to make the same U/C.
Where would it be possible to get a U/C made for this project, is there any LMA member on here that maybe able to make this, or any particular UK modelling specialist, otherwise will have to make this myself.

The Greenley undercarriage is a very simple wire bending job. The top 90 deg bend on the main legs can be assisted with some heat but all the other bends should be done cold to avoid taking the temper out of the wire. I have been bending this type of undercarriages for years with just s simple wire bender and a vice. Have a go, it is easier than you think.

John,
Yes, the U/C looks simple enough to make, main reason for asking if there is anyone out there or any website that maybe able to make this U/C is I don't have the facility to take any temper out of the wire, and also currently don't have a vice.

With a Zenoah 38 in that model, which will not need anything like full power to fly, a 500cc tank will last for ages. No need for anything bigger.
