RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
Continuation of gear installation....
#5, installs the gear retract mechanism
#6 is a mockup of the gear wire
#7, is a 4" robart wheel
#8, is the gear in the retracted position.
This was done to place the;
1. The pivot point of the gear in the scale position on the wing.
2. Position the axel center even with the wing root as shown is most 3 views.
3. Retract the gear assembly so the wheel would fit between the leading edge and the main spar.
