Default RE: TOM BRETT'S DESIGNS-UPDATE

Tom sure was a true scratch builder. It appears if the main landing gear is formed from a single length of wire. Looking at the overall design and the triangle shape in the center, it must have taken more than a couple of tries to make it. It couldn't have been easy! I have to wonder why he choose the design he used instead of a 2-piece torsion design. Certainly would have been a lot easier to bend!
