Attaching Landing Gear

I just received my Corgi Bush Avenger and although it can be displayed gear up, there is no stand which allows it to be displayed gear up. So, it will be a gear down version until I can fabricate a stand.

But, it is a very heavy plane ( which I like ) and the gear down does not fit tightly enough to support the plane. And I am fearful that it will not hold, thus damaging/breaking the landing gear and propeller when it does fall. So I am assuming that I will have to "glue" the landing gear in place.

I have heard of using "white" glue, but any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Skydriver

They come with a stand, it is under the black plastic taped in there, looks like a HM stand.

Flaps,

I owe you a beer. Thanks. My avenger now looks the way I wanted it to look.
