Re: Trex 800 My First Flight Impressions....
Does that landing gear add strength or is it just another way to advertise the Align brand name?
Not trying to put it down, just wondering why it is connected front to back.

Nice machine Manny, where the heck is the snow?

Ted, I have those on a 700 & they just look darn smart, that is my thought. They are made in 2 halves & are not connected side to side.

Im sure advertising is the main feature but i did have one pretty hard landing and the landing gear design does seem very durable.
