RE: Retractable undercarridge instalation in a RTF
Thanks for the encouragement, its appreciated
More progress, ready to re-cover one side, will start on the other side asap, don't think I will post anything on the other side as it will be mostly the same, have a few problems to solve as too angle of attack of the wing when on its wheels, prop clearance, round out of aircraft at take off i.e. if the wheel legs become too short there will not be enough clearance for the tail to rotate, if the wheels are too long the angle of attack will be shuch that a high speed would be neccesary to enable rotation, all of this is dictated by the nose leg, which is a fixed criterier due to the length possible which is dictated by the space between the firewall and wing, speed would not be to much of a problem on pave, but I fly off a small mown grass patch, this continues to be an interesting exersise.
