Here is my Walkera 4G6 landing gear. Hybrid design made from parts of the original 4G6 gear and an old HM52#1 gear (see my older post here), held together by shrink tube and ca. The 4G6 gear is super lightweight and unbrakable and the HM52#1 mounting provides a wider spread so the heli has more stability on the ground and during landings. Total weight incl. screws is 2.2gm only, so its weight is even less then the original Walkera 4G6 LG (2.4gm).

As the 30mm wide Zippy lipos (450, 600mAh) wont fits into the stock Walkera 4G6 landing gear i have removed the battery holder from and cut the LG in the middle of the front mounting. Drilled a second whole and used a longer screw to mount it.
Now the distance between the struts big enough for 30mm Zippys. Lipo is held by a rubber band. Maybe not the most elegant solution, but less weight than any other landing gear. Stabilty of the LG is still strong.

Put the HM52#1 landing gear (HM52#1-Z20) under the 4G6. The holes in the HM52 skids fit the front mounting holes of the 4G6 frame. Tailstruts can also be mounted without modification. HM52 alloy skids have been shortened.
UPDATE: Weight incl. screws and spacers 3,9gm. 1,5gm more than original LG (2,4gm).
