The kit nylon T-mount really isn't worth the trouble. Anything resembling a rough landing will completely fold the landing gear wire back, and it's pretty easy to break the entire nose off. Build the front end up like a Skyray or similar with a 1/8" ply or 1/4" ply firewall and 1/2 balsa supports, it'll be much more durable. If you need a landing gear, I'd recommend bending a new gear from 1/16" wire and install it the same as most profiles thru the wing cutout. The nylon mount lasted one flight on the Baby Ringmaster I learned to fly on.
