Image Comments edtherenderman 13-Mar-22 18:27 The landing gear is another engineering challenge. I was able to find an original drawing of the landing gear configuration, which was really helpful. I didn’t understand how the supporting struts worked until I found it. So I spend several evening trying to create the struts using brass and copper tubing, but realized I could 3D print them with enough detail and strength to work. I had already cut the gear doors out of one of the nacelles and was able to use that as a rig. After getting everything working, I created a test rig out of bamboo skewers for to build the other side. Here is the gear in fully down position. Please sign in to comment on this image.
