Working out the main gear door drive linkage geometry was a process of trial and error. While there are numerous solutions, very few give a practical solution in terms of finding a suitable mounting point on the main gear legs.

I think I have finally settled on the geometry below. Not a great pull angle when retracted, but hopefully sufficient closing power. I need to drill the gear legs and make a small stand-off for the ball-link.
