Now back to the landing gear.
By surfing in the www I found a guy named Chuck Graves , the owner ofhttp://www.warbirdcolors.com
Authentic Colors For Your Scale Warbird he also sells Vance Mosher-Plans and he was so friendly to send the plan of the gear from Curtiss Helldiver SBC-4 . Not the same aircraft, but the same gear-principle. So I reworked the gear-drive complete, from two engines to one, central. To check if it works, I decided to build a "dummy-hull" in scale 1/1.
At first, the DevFus-Work

You can make nice games with this
