Understood. As it is now, some of the gear parts for the F14 are really over-engineered for a model using scales dimensions for bosses and such, plus i have a 4130 steel tube that is inserted into the main strut bodies to act as a oleo strut outer tube for wear minimalization. The gear is over-engineeres i believe.
The big issues is some of the parts (upper and lower strut yokes) require 6-10 jigs/fixtures for cnc machining. If these coule be 3D printed of sufficient strength, it could potentially reduce the manufacturing cost a good bit.

The large XB-70 im designing would also benefit as well.
