Improved Landing GearAs you look at Stardusters you'll quickly learn that the original design had a problem with the landing gear. Recent modifications have moved the gear forward so that its located 8" rather than the original 1 1/2" from the firewall reference line. They also had a problem with lateral loads. Any side pressure and the gear would collapse. 45GG has had the landing gear modified in a couple of different ways. First the gear was relocated to the 8" position and then the gear was beefed up in two ways. One, a steel rod was spot welded into the down tubes of the gear and Two, an extra crossmember was welded between the two downtubes giving the landing gear a lot more lateral strength. Here is a look at these modifications on 45GG.
