| rayl | 07-Feb-15 13:34 | | While I'm waiting for the Gloss White paint to dry: I always try to let white sit for a least a week before I touch it, I started to work on the Landing gear. The progression from left-tp-right: (1) Cut out the shape on the jig-saw, (2) establish the shape of the tire on the lathe, (3) drill the hub hole out to finish the tire, (4) machine the hub to size out of "black" PVC pipe, (5) machine the Hub disc out of 3/16" plexi. The Nose Gear yoke above was assembled during our last snowstorm, all out of styrene. |

| rayl | 12-Sep-18 17:28 | | Ken: Thanks for the compliment:-). IIRC the main body of the yoke was cut out a piece of 0.060" styrene. The flange was made from some 0.030 styrene cut to the basic shape then glued up. I did some final shaping and drilled for the axle after it dried for a week or so. Feel free to ask any more questions of me or anybody else on the VA website. There is a lot of knowledge here. |
| kenm94591 | 13-Sep-18 11:56 | | Thanks. I am just looking for glue joints and can't seem to find any...impressive.
