    two things and another thing
    1, placement of the main gear when its custom built is generally supposed to rest right behind the center of mass (just enough so its able to be balanced when the airplane is rotated/flared off the ground)
    2, these gears need scissors, which are a two-piece connecting bit that looks a bit like this
    lastly, my goto move for gear when it shakes a lot even with scissors on and good placement is to up the mass scale of the mechanical parts (shocks, rotators, wheels etc)
    also on a side note the hornets gear is one of the ballsiest designs ive seen for suspension and i do not wanna build it again heres pic of that
