Hobbyking / Starmax Piper J3 Cub 1400mm Replacement Parts

This model gets very good reviews for its flight characteristics but it has a few weak points. As I built it, I designed some parts to address these areas. Then, as I crashed it, I also added some replacement parts. These parts should also work for the L-4 Grasshopper sold by Hobbyking as it is the same model with a different paint job. If you don't own a printer, you can upload the files to me via 3Dhubs and I can print them and ship them to you: https://www.3dhubs.com/trenton/hubs/cbl. (Or you can choose from other printers in your area on 3Dhubs and save on shipping.) My replacement and improvement pack consists of: 1. Landing Gear Left, Right, and Cover - The main parts of the landing gear are two triangular pieces of thin plastic. They will break. I've made reinforced replacements for them. 2. Landing Gear Cross Brace - If you are not worried about the scale look, you can print this using Ninjaflex Semiflex and string it between the two axles to act like a giant rubber band / shock absorber. It is designed to replace all the fiddly little springs and flimsy plastic parts which look like they will break if you sneeze on them. 3. Landing Gear Hold Down Plate - The front of the landing gear, which consists of the metal bar that also serves as the axles, is "attached" to the plane by pressing it into a plastic slot. It is likely that during a rough or uneven landing, this will come out and the landing gear will fold backward and shear off, probably ripping off your wing supports along the way. This part and three small screws should save you from that. 4. Landing Gear Mounting Plate - This is the plastic part that is embedded in the foam underbelly to which the landing gear is mounted. There is no reason to use my version over the stock, it only serves as a replacement if yours is damaged. My version is identical to stock except for the addition of the three holes used for mounting the Landing Gear Hold Down Plate. 5. Elevator Bridge Stiffene
