Just FYI,
I've been doing a bunch of "Modeling" just not on my project!
A friend of mine is in the final stages of an Aviation Concepts PT-19. He asked me to create the inner brakes and outer wheel cover for his plane. He enters scale competitions with his models so I had to work pretty hard on them. The inner portion remains stationary on the axle while the wheel turns. It attaches to the axle with a small set screw. There is about a 1/32 gap between the inner assembly and the wheel itself.
The first photo is of the landing gear of a PT-19 at Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson. I had taken the photo when I heard my friend would be working on a new build and thought he may want it for reference. My friend did go down to Tucson and was allowed access to the plane where he took a bunch of photos.
They took a couple weekends to complete and I hope they added in a positive way to his model.
They aren't perfect but I had to work within the limitations of the Robart wheels he was using for this project.
