RE: Bob Nelitz 1/3 Scale J-3 Short Kit build
eddieC, This landing gear is the Bob Nelitz design on the third scale cub plan and is very accurate.
Also have factory drawings of gear,and Bob did a great job. Just about dead on.
Remember silver solder is low temp.Like Stay-Brite a common silver solder is only 430 degrees
Silver brazing is high temp 1200+ degrees.Bob talks about this on page one in the original magazine article.
See page 1 post 42 for magazine article.
