Steve,

The only thing that might be a factor in this upstop arrangement is the 
leverage force at those blocks. There will be a considerable compression 
force there. I have not done anything with mine except to attach a rubber 
block on one side of the gear well out where the gear leg comes closest. It 
doesn't seem to be a very large force at that point.

I suppose I missed the problem with this. Are people reporting problems with 
the gear going up too far in flight and causing problems? My little rubber 
stop experiment is out at the end of the gear, which would experience the 
minimum leverage force.

Back to getting ready to paint!
