Abstract: A landing gear for a model airplane featuring a support structure that is spring loaded to permit controlled resilient tilting of the support structure thereby absorbing the shear impulses to which a plane is is otherwise subject to. A pair of springs is mounted on the outside of the plane and supports the union section of a yoke with attached wheels against the plane body. Fasteners attaching landing gear to plane body provide sufficient range in two degrees of freedom to permit rearward/forward and sideways tilt of the landing gear.

Abstract: A tool for stripping the sheath from a cable including a plunger slidably positioned in a housing. A cable opening in the side is provided enabling a user to position the cable between a roller inside the housing and the end surface of the plunger. The end surface of the plunger has a cutter blade that penetrates the sheath of the cable positioned between the roller and the surface of the plunger so that, when the cable is pulled through the cable opening, an axially directed slit is formed in the sheath of the cable enabling the user to peel off the sheath.
