Those landing gear castings worked out really nice. Great Craftsmanship and attention to detail all round.

Has anyone used "shrink tubing" on any of this ????

I have not personally tried to use shrink tubing, however a few fellows I worked with tried. The problem they encountered was that the shrink tubing didn't shrink evenly and the cut length and finished diameter was difficult to determine and predict finished length and diameter. try it..maybe the shrink tubing formulation has changed since the last 20 yrs.

If I try it , I would use it only to increase the thickness of some of the existing pieces...

Do a couple of test pieces to get a feel for the "shrink" (diameter and length)> Part of your decision to use shrink tubing should be.. Am I willing to rebuild/replace all this work?
