RE: 100" Grumman Goose <BEAUTIFUL>
The goose landing gear wheel well is made of 6061 T6 aluminum and is a exacting replica of the real goose wheel well. It is tig welded together and bolted into the fuse and then it is sealed with silicone sealer for a water tight seal. If I remember right they weigh 2 lbs both of them together. They are fully functional with the exception of the oleo strut, no spring here. The reason is that these are designed to go into the water and I didnt want to mess with the oleo rusting up and causing proplems. This keeps the cost down a bit also. All the moving parts in the gear are brass bushed and operation is very smooth, all the bolts and nuts are stainles steel for obvious reasons.
