| Folding wing connection (note for this shot that the inner section of wing is actually folded up...reversed for actual operation). N1 and N2 pivoted on N5. The wing locks down with N4 going thru loop of N3 when in down position. Tab on N4 allows pulling it thru block BF1 to lock and unlock wings. |

| I am confused, is this complex and well built mechanism part of the landing gear? |

| John, this pic shows the folding wing hardware construction. I have also built in the retractable landing gear per Guillow plan. I recall you are interested in retract gear, so let me know if you would like a couple detail shots of that mechanism.

| The wire comes in the kit straight. You will have to bend them carefully per the plans. Also note that their are different diameter wires for the parts. I have no experience with making balsa kits gas or electric flyers, but as I keep on saying....one of these days!
John O, I hope to have some pics of landing gear for you soon. I am nursing a knee surgery so am going slow. |

| No rush, my friend, as I have not started the wings yet. I will appreciate a consultation in the near future. |

| I actually ran across a reference to this build on a Facebook guillows group.
I'm currently on this build and going at a sipping speed so this is an awesome build to follow and wonderfully displayed in a great teaching fashion. |
