I know this a old thread, but I have found Magister from Multiplex seem



to follow the 25% rule and I have not been able to tip the plane withou cross wind. 65" wing span and 17" wheel base.



Does any one know where I can find after market landing gear that ha



17" wheel base and 3.5" to 4" in height? The piano landing gear o magister works fine, but I am a bit tire of them bending out of shap after a "not so perfect landing"...

I've been flying my Magister for about 18 months and love it. It's heavier than your average trainer type plane, but very tough, and the extra weight makes it easier to land without floating down the whole runway. I'll frequently use my whole pack just shooting touch and go's.

But as for your question. You'll probably have to bend them yourself if you want wire gear to fit. If you want to install a hardwood block and mount CF gear, you should find something to work here:

One thing to remeber though, it's better to bend and straighten the gear on a bad landing than damage or rip out the mounting block. A little give is a good thing....
