Hi there Glen

I'm afraid your well ahead of me now with your project. The gear looks fantastic, a real master piece.

I've devised a method of top steering the nose leg which is purpose designed for the single seater ..1/5th scale ...and am having the parts investment cast. In my case most of the leg is exposed making it more difficult to arrange reliable steering. I do believe I've got it sorted however. I should have 6 sets in about 2 weeks.

The mains are less of a problem and the chassis design is being machined for me now. They're pretty beefy and so the mechanics would be OK for a larger model. The design also allows the retract angle to be adjusted by fitting a different locking cam. The system is based on Goldberg/Robart locking design. I'll get some pics up for you as soon as I have something nice to look at!

I've been too busy to do much but am back at it now. I've just sorted the inboard flaps and am about to launch into the wings. I had thought od all composite but I'm not prepared to invest the time for what may be a smallish return.

Well done ...do have a completion date? Silly question I know.

Brian
