I noticed when my plane landed that the front wheel was bending. This is common on most planes and over time most people replace or upgrade the landing gear. A friend at our club noticed it was the wrong way round and needed improvements on the control rod. I checked the instructions and confirmed it was wrong.
The front wheel is now the other way round and various bits of balsa and expoy have helped keep the control rod from flexing in the plane. This way when it lands, the wheel will stay straight and the spring will take the correct impact. I may consider upgrading the landing gear in the future.
