Hello Gents
the CNC machine is working 24 hours a day at the moment , first up are the upper parts
tommorow are the lower parts.
after this anodising will be done and the new oleo,s will be done
about the mounting:
there will be a little work , but surely not more then 10 minutes.
you do NOT have to modify the jet-1A at any time!.
you will however have to cut a bit of the thunnel away.
Alan and myself have spoken about this and be reasured it has NOTHING to do with the strenght of the model.
there will be even a small cover plate included in the kit , that will cover the opening left on the rails of the main LG.
you do NOT see anything optical
there will be also a new former , that is included with the Landing gear that needs to be glued on top of the existing 2 rails.
1 is to strenghten it more
2 is to lift the front retract by 5mm , to clear steering and a small nose up.
you can start the build even withouth the landing gear.
EDIT: added picture
you can see when we where prototyping , dont mind the oleo or pin this is for measuring only.
as you can see the retract fits perfect , just need to make some space for the cylinder and connector to the LG.
the side of the retract will be covered with a small piece of fake carbon plating.
Why not mount the units all the way out for a much wider ground stance? Are you saying the nose gear rails are not strong enough as is?
Dave
how high do you want it to be of the ground?
i did this so it stays low to the ground , and dont tip over to fast..
the front:
for wire struts they are fine...
for a oleo and a bit of a rough landing no...
i want everyone to have fun flying , and not return home after one flight and fix the LG.
i did that myself to much in the past ...
Believe me you wil like it.
