The grand plan is to leave these in this form until I have them mounted in the airframe and trued up then I will guzzie them up with plastruct tubing and othe do-dads to give them the correct appearance. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 10-Jan-15 09:49 |  | | Views : 374 | | It's getting interesting now. The main L/G of this A/C has a main support axle with 4 struts attaching it to the oleo strutt. Each of the strutts is at a different angle and lenght. I made the jig shown to be able to make sure that the gears are identical. The gears are made of various sizes of brass tubing silver solderd together. |

It has been really hard to find good detail photos of some areas of the A/C, so there ia a little "Imagineering" going on here. I also laid on five planks on the bottom of the fuse to keep everything lined up. I did not want to apply any more planks that this as I need to keep the main L/G well area open for fabrication. |
