RE: Seagull Gee Bee Z
Yes I plan to file flats on the upper Z shaped landing gear and lock that into the strut well. My custom bracket attaches to the part of the strut that does not move! This way the lower portion telescoping can move up and down freely and do no harm. The bracket serves two purposes, one to keep pant from moving sideways into wheel, and hardware to attach wires easily to give side support to stationary part of strut . Hope this makes sense. I will post photo's when I get one side made. I just finished three hours of iorning out wrinkles on every part of this plane, and now hinging the control surfaces.
