Wing strut attachment and landing gear redesign

Hi everyone, thanks for the 100+ supporters within 24 hours! I've been working on a small update to improve the structural integrity of the wing strut connections:

Unlike the previous design, the struts are now pinned directly into the wing spar using Technic elements, making the wing-spar-strut connection significantly stronger.

I've also edited the angles of the landing gear to make it more accurate and the wheels are now less obliquely canted: 

Part count has increased to about 1430 parts, but I think it's worth it for the increased accuracy and strength. These will be reflected in a future edit of the main project, pending moderation.
