landing gear question
 

I'm building my tiger 60 and I have this landing gear http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHBP8&P=0 My question is how to put it on.. Just run screws up through the landing gear or bolt it on with lock nuts? I've been renforceing the fuse to hold it, I'm just not sure the best way to put it on.

millertym2000,
What you will need to do is build up an area in the fuselage to mount the landing gear with. It's pretty easy to build up and area using lite ply inside the fuselage. Once you have that done simply use bolts and blind nuts to mount the landing gear to the fuselage. See if the attached diagram helps any.

thanks Ken. nice diagram:D would I use two or four screws?

Depends on the landing gear. If there are holes already there for 4 holes then use them.

no holes in it yet. I have to drill them.

Go with 3 or 4 hole in it then.

(Off Topic) Ken, do you Photoshop each of the graphics you use here or do you have a better more practical solution?

RE: landing gear question
 

A large portion of the graphics used by both Minnflyer and I are drawn from a pool of graphics that both of us have developed over the years. But yes, most of them are done with Photoshop.
