This project really needs to get done so I can move on. My brain is already two kits ahead!
Today I installed the wood covers over the landing gear. The covers were made from spruce which I machined into a streamline shape. I also cut grooves in the center of each to accept the wire.
Each cover consist of two pieces, an inner and an outer. The wire is sandwiched in the middle.
To make sure the wood pieces never rotate on the wire gear I soldered a small tab on each leg, to lock the wood in place.
Little final sanding and some clear lacquer and the gear will be done.
