Status: offline 		I just received some update photos of the 100" Grumman Goose offered at http://www.mastermodelers.com. This is the company that purchased all of the molds from Jim Conachen. Richard has been re-building and re-tooling all of the molds. The Goose was his first project. It has turned out BEAUTIFUL!

He has also been working with Keleo Creations to make the scale landing gear.

I have a bunch of construction photos too. Email me if you would like some.

Status: offline 		The goose landing gear wheel well is made of 6061 T6 aluminum and is a exacting replica of the real goose wheel well. It is tig welded together and bolted into the fuse and then it is sealed with silicone sealer for a water tight seal. If I remember right they weigh 2 lbs both of them together. They are fully functional with the exception of the oleo strut, no spring here. The reason is that these are designed to go into the water and I didnt want to mess with the oleo rusting up and causing proplems. This keeps the cost down a bit also. All the moving parts in the gear are brass bushed and operation is very smooth, all the bolts and nuts are stainles steel for obvious reasons.

Status: offline 		If I only had the right welder, lathe, milling machine, etc. and (more importantly) the skills to do such work. Metal work has always interested me and both of my grandfathers were in the trade. One was a tool and die maker and the other taught students to become tool and die makers. Unfortunately, they are both gone so all I have are a few of their hand tools.

Again, that is beautiful work and the cost is very reasonable for the quality and detail presented. It sounds like the model will break before the landing gear even thinks about it It should help to generate more interest in this model too. I hope you consider doing more landing gear work in the future. I saw some of the work you did for Vance Mosher as well.
