I am not confident of Hand launching the model.....Moreover, I feel Takeoff and Landing add grace and completeness to overall flying... Smiley

Try rickshaw spokes.
Much more thicker and springier.
Not easily bendable.
Just try once. Try and make a spring  in the center for absorption.
This works on 2 kg spads. Should do fine here.

Thanks Prabal276...we don't have any rickshaw in Navi Mumbai  Bang Head

I could only see cycle spokes and motor cycle spokes....motor cycle spokes though stiff are very short.....

Got your suggestion of that spring.....In fact I have made such landing gear from Paper clip....but its not suitable for my model....

I will search for Rickshaw spokes here....

Try to locate spring steel wire in your city.
That is also an useful alternative.
Go through the yellow page; indiamart etc.
Youll surely find. Thumbs Up

Dia approx. 3mm....

As I was glancing through his shop I could see a long spoke around approx. 2 Ft long...I asked what is that...he told me that is Brake Rod used in Hathgadi (Rickshaw?).....Bingo....that I thought what prabal276 was referring to....it was around the same dia. as the motor cycle spoke costing Rs. 70/piece.

But I bought the motorcycle spokes which were used ones....bought 6 pcs for Rs. 10.....

If I am not able to make the landing gears with these I'll buy the Rickshaw Brake rod...

Thanks prabal276......voice of deaf....saikat

The only drawback with these motorcycle spokes is that I will not be able to make that spring thing because of the short length...
