Azcat,
Thanks for the feedback. I did get a price quote from a manufacturer, (not Robart) for $340.00, lol...
I'm sorry but I just CANNOT wrap my brain around installing landing gear that cost 7x what I paid for the airframe. Having matched 45's already on hand does put me somewhat ahead of the price curve but I still have a wood pack to buy, hardware and other accessories. Pneumatic landing gear may just have to be scratched and your mechanical "solution" used.
ANY PHOTOS??
I'm considering using 3 nose gears, locking the 2-"mains" so as to not steer. In this manner, I can still bulkhead mount them so as to not impact the tank area...just a thought.
Did you glass your model or use a film covering? have you ever heard of this product:

Using this to do the wing cores and glassing the fuselage looks to be a quick way for a superior camo paint job.
Let's keep the thread going. I'm going to need alotta input, lol...
