RE: RC BOEING 757-200 build in progress. OPEN TO ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS
thanks sam~ rubber bands or springs will be attached to the front of the truck and attached to the strut to keep them pitched up slightly during flight.. I will have a wire "stopper" to keep them from pitching too much as well. I'm also going to develop some vacuum formed plastic scale strut covers and paint them to make the gear look as scale as possible. I'll do this of course after the prototype actually flies

Hello Scalejet757, This is an admirer of the 757. Im currently a mechanic for Delta Airlines used to work on the 757 also have access to drawings. I also am the designer and cnc operator for RCFoam.com. Anyways I was interested in designing a 757. Wanted to know if you were still working on yours? Im possibly interested in purchasing a nose section. Also maybe I can do something for you in the depron area. Were the main distributor for depron in North America.
Thanks deltamazda.
Thanks deltamazda.

That sounds fantastic. A plane like that should definitely be kitted, for those of us whose building skills aren't that finely honed. It'd have to be reasonably priced, but it should sell once the word is out.
