Ok, This is a question and not any idea yet.
I have about another month and then I expect I'll be back to life in my trailer and building and maybe even flying. I need to remove 1 couch from the wall and add something that will work as workbench and storage area.
But my question is that on grass 1.2A have no need for  landing gear. For you guys that fly 1.3A in the semi arid west and NO grass do you use landing gear.
The second question is what would be the easiest to install and make removable on a 1/2A Though I would prefer wing mounted.
Any of you half A lovers have any concepts ??

If you mow the grass low enough a 1/2-A ship will take off just fine.  Fields where horses graze are great, as long as you avoid the droppings.

Or, bring an 8-foot long piece of cardboard, and take off from that.  Landings will be a plop and a backflip, but takeoffs will look nice.

On the Cheap Thrill, I used a fuselage mounted gear in a vertical ply sandwich. It is held in place by a bolt through the back former of the tank compartment. I haven't thought about wing mounted gear.

Larry'a pictures show the basic gear I was talking about.

In the past I have used a card table as a runway over grass.  Is about the same as a hand launch.  1/2 A aircraft leaves the table 3' above the ground and is flying before it looses a foot of altitude.  You just have to remember to step back so you don't smack he table.   

Of course "Landings will be a plop and a backflip".
