You can have mine, but it's now just disassembled, dimensional lumber. 
For the trigear, you can keep it simple.  A framed base, and four braced 
vertical 1 x 4s  which affix to the fuse with screws and stuff.  Since you 
have to adjust the height and level to install the main gear, slot the holes 
in the verticals.  Only for the monowheel can I see where something much 
fancier than this is desirable, but the Pops design will make the main gear 
job rather a challenge.
