?? Neat. And good resolution for a $125 camera too:

RW And the camera price has come down, too... less than $100 at Target.

is that a crack in the landing gear? - just above the left bolt


The crack is actually the location of a non-structural butt joint. The gear
itself is laminated from 1/4" spruce, with alternate planks overlapping. The
narrow end of alternate pieces butts up against the narrow edge of another. The
glue area is so small that the glue tends to crack over time. Again, the join
isn't structural in nature...the gear laminations are held together by the
overlapping areas and pinned by the bolts holding the axle plates.
