Default RE: ARIXTRA Build Thread by ISAAC NAJARY


ORIGINAL: najary

Here is a structure with I developed after deep thinking about the forces applied on the landing gear mount.

The all idea here is about making the landing gear mount as light as possible but still strong enough that you can be secure that in hard landing it won't broke.

It is a very frustrate feeling to brake the landing gear mount as a result to a sudden strong gust of wind especially in competition.

I have this structure in my Osmose and in my Xigris and it was proven as strong to survive over 2,000 landings with naturally some of them were pretty hard landings.

The total weight, including gluing to the fuselage and 4 screw-nuts is 30 gram (728-698).

Best regards,

Isaac, would you mind sharing where you purchased (or how you made) the carbon fibre honeycomb panels? What weight carbon fibre is used in their manufacture?
