Default H9 46% landing gear

The carbon fiber landing gear has warped. Looking for a replacement and not sure I want to go back to H9.

Try putting it in the oven at 200 degrees for a few hours. This will soften it up some and bring it back to original shape but it will also make it stronger and more heat resistant after it cools down. It would also be a good idea to paint it yellow so it wont absorb heat sitting in the sun.

I had already painted it yellow because of what I had heard about this gear. Not sure about putting in in the oven now that it has been painted. I guess I could strip the paint. ???????

Depending on what type of paint was used. If it auto pain then it will hold up to the heat. at this point you have nothing to lose, throw it in and see what happens.
