Skid fitment has bugged me for a while but this is the value of modelling, and in view of the fact that the aircraft and inhabitant is unidirectional it can fly in alignment with any of its faces. It therefore only has to be pointing in one particular direction for landing, in order to align the undercarriage. With a set of castors it need not even do that. This however looks the better way in the longer term of mounting skids... by bolting spars to the ends of the lowermost rotor-arms.
Along with the patented 'stop-prop' means of aligning the blades in the same direction in order to protection, the combination represents a workable solution. And workable solutions ~ one of them here, one of them there ~ eventually build an air vehicle. With the extent of recent practise under my belt too, this won't take at all long to scale beyond the one in six seen here.
Black square represents a hole, incidentally... the perfect ever being the enemy of the good.
