Default RE: Scratch building 105

Hi George,

I like ur idea but it will not work due to the main mounting aluminium frames are on both edges of the gear door opening and then strut is mounted with in the centre of the frame. Take a look at these pictures.

Another method is needed here, a method with some sort of locking hinges

or a thin piano wire to hold is in place while it opens and closes

or some sort of rail with roller system.
