My question is about the rubber bands used on the landing gear legs. What is the proper size rubber band for this aplication? I think I'm set with all the other parts, just not sure of what bands to use on it.
Again, thanks to all. This is a gold mine of info for all BARs out there! I've been looking for a site like this for a long time.

Unless you're going for the "authentic look" of an original, I'd suggest using elastic shock chord material instead. This is what Estes is using in their Outlander variation of the ML.
Check the Wal Mart crafts section, near the knitting supplies, and you'll fins all of the elastic you'll ever need...  |
