heywooood | 10-Jun-19 10:48 | close-up of the LG retracted - also shows how the lower fairing is attached and the balsa sheet filler used at the leading edge to complete the connection to the wing and top half of the 'knee'
also note through the plastic the balsa layer attached at the front of the gear opening. This will anchor the rods attached to the gear doors at the front - then a simple section of plastic tubing will serve as the rear capture - hopefully allowing the doors to swing open and closed. Friction will hold them in either position |
heywooood | 10-Jun-19 10:56 | here you can see that friction will also hold the gear in the retracted position..I will fit a slotted hardwood block at the front of the opening to capture the gear in the full down position before I attach the doors.. |
