Default RE: Scratch building 105

Hi George,

Either the hefty springs on those hinges or some sort of locking ends that dosen't let door to fall on it's front and keeps it parallel to the fuselage, then front rollers roll on the belly skin but i'm not sure how rear rollers or support props the door.

I tried to find the relation of front door tot he strut by placing it on the belly with gear retracted with a pice of balsa in between the two taped together, and then tracked the gear out to find the right angles and position. It seemed to work out right but D1's issue started. This I will tackle over the winter after Connie's maiden flight...

Hey Timex, thanks a lot for digging this up for me, btw how is ur C-133 coming along?
