RE: MiG-29 FC/CompArf Landing Gear question
Hi Matt,
What i'm trying to do is basically the same as you have used on your plane.....custom cylinders. Basically all i have is a sketch of the fuselage layout in that area. Now i need to figure out where the hardpoints are on the original system, and then design the cylinders around that. That way my system will also be modular for others who might want to replace theirs...
The info that the cylinders travel 70mm helps me a lot! Now all i need is the length of the cylinder, either retracted or extended...
By the way, i read that the nose gear shortens while retracting. Anybody have a pic of the mechanism used? I'd like to throw some numbers into my calculator to find out the force needed to overcome this load....
Best regards
Hank
