The tube I used was a Dave Brown carbon fiber pushrod. The carbon tubes were cut and left a bit long on the top side.

Step one was to sand the paint off the gear TE, this took about 2 minutes. ![]() My solution was to add a carbon fiber tube down the trailing edge of the gear. Unfortunately, its pretty unsightly since you need to tape it to the landing gear leg, which then gets greasy and starts to come off. With the addition of brakes on a Bidule you have to have tubing running down to the brake caliper. The carbon main landing gear on this plane is excellent, so this modification has nothing to do with strength, instead its about appearance. ![]()
